Netanyahu Tells State Comptroller His Version of Events Leading to Oct. 7 Massacre
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented his account of the events preceding the October 7th Hamas attack to the State Comptroller over a four-hour period. This account is part of the first installment in a series of reports that will reveal protocols from closed-door discussions, situation assessments presented to the political leadership in the weeks before the attack, and Netanyahu's claim that he was never informed about Hamas's "Jericho Wall" plan or its training exercises.
The report details warnings issued by Netanyahu in closed sessions and an assessment by the Shin Bet security agency just four days prior to the massacre. The Shin Bet assessment stated that "security quiet in exchange for easing [restrictions] embodies potential for maintaining stability in the Strip."
The series focuses on the 20 days leading up to the October 7th attack, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the intelligence and decision-making processes involved.
