Netanyahu Denies Intelligence Warnings Before October 7th Attack

Translated & summarized from Hamal by baba
The story · English

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that no intelligence entity issued a warning to him prior to the October 7th Hamas attacks. The article, however, presents a highly critical and accusatory perspective, suggesting widespread deception and a deliberate cover-up by security officials.

It alleges that key figures like Ronen Bar, the head of the Shin Bet, and Herzi Halevi, the IDF Chief of Staff, held a meeting on the critical Friday before the attack, discussing clear warning signs but withholding this information from the Prime Minister. The author claims this was done because they knew Netanyahu would oppose further economic concessions to Gaza.

The piece further criticizes Netanyahu's own party, the Likud, accusing them of lying about the involvement of individuals like Einhorn and Feldstein in the Prime Minister's office. It suggests that Netanyahu's ministers and Knesset members are secretly hoping for his departure.

The author also brings up the October 7th massacre, mentioning that 6,000 Palestinians from Gaza, armed with Egyptian and American weapons smuggled through tunnels, carried out the atrocities. The article implies that commercial propaganda channels are attempting to bury the narrative of this event and a supposed attempted coup, funded by the Obama/Biden administration and the European Union.

Ultimately, the article places the blame squarely on Netanyahu for the October 7th failures, regardless of whether he received direct warnings, labeling him a "liar" who has not taken responsibility. It suggests that Netanyahu's wife and son, along with people he appointed, have ruined his second half of his political career, leading the author to leave the Likud party.
