Netanyahu Claims Ignorance of Hamas Attack Warnings, Jericho Wall Plan
The second part of the "Netanyahu's Version" series reveals testimony from the Prime Minister to the State Comptroller regarding the initial hours of the October 7th Hamas attack and the "Jericho Wall" plan. Netanyahu asserts that he received no significant military intelligence updates the night before the assault. He also claims that an assessment by the head of the Shin Bet security agency, conducted about 75 minutes before the attack, indicated a low probability of a wide-scale conflict.
Netanyahu further alleges a significant discrepancy between a document sent in real-time and a later Shin Bet investigation, stating, "This clause was miraculously added." He questions when the "Jericho Wall" plan became an operational order and why, according to his testimony, it was never presented to him.
The report focuses on Netanyahu's account of the events leading up to and during the initial stages of the Hamas onslaught, highlighting his claims of limited information and questioning the handling of intelligence and operational planning.
