Translated & summarized from Haaretz by baba
The story · English

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly received intelligence warnings days before the October 7th Hamas attacks but did not update the IDF or the Shin Bet, according to a report by Shlomi Eldar and Ruth Yuval. The article implies this information may explain Netanyahu's initial shock following the massacre. The report does not provide further details on the nature of the warning or the specific reasons for not sharing it with the security agencies.

The piece also touches upon broader issues facing Israel, including a significant crisis in education that will impact students, and questions about the actions of public figures Ilan Peled and Yael Poliakov. It includes commentary on the post-massacre shock, suggesting it might be linked to Netanyahu's prior knowledge. Additionally, the article features a critical review of television content and a piece on conflict resolution expert advocating for more conflict. It also includes a personal reflection on relationships and a guide to choosing coffee.
