  • Amir Aviv claimed the October 7 Hamas attack occurred due to Ra'am's inclusion in the 2021 coalition.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to appoint Aviv as a minister.
  • Aviv spoke at an election event with high school students in Ness Ziona.

  • Keychains from the Otzma Yehudit party were distributed at the event.

Amir Aviv, who Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to appoint as a minister if he forms the next government, claimed Tuesday that the October 7 Hamas attack occurred because the Islamist party Ra'am was part of the coalition government established in 2021. Aviv made these remarks during an election panel event at Ben Gurion High School in Ness Ziona. He asserted that "today we know from IDF intelligence investigations that Sinwar's strategic decision to go to war was because we gave the key to the Muslim Brotherhood," according to a recording by journalist Beni Ashkenazi.

Aviv's comments were made during a discussion with high school students. The IDF's investigations, according to the article, indicate that Hamas began planning the attack before the Bennett government was sworn in. During the event at the school, keychains shaped like guns from the Otzma Yehudit party were also distributed.
