The Likud party on Wednesday fiercely criticized Channel 12 News, accusing the network of broadcasting "political, false propaganda" against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party. The party stated that the network's aim was to "overthrow the right-wing government and lead to a left-wing government that will establish a Palestinian state." Likud asserted that Prime Minister Netanyahu did not receive any prior warning before the October 7th Hamas attack from the Gaza Strip. They cited statements from former President Donald Trump, current Biden advisor Brett McGurk, and the governments of the UAE and Egypt as evidence that others were also unaware of an impending attack. The party further claimed that official protocols submitted by Netanyahu to the State Comptroller show that security officials repeatedly stated Hamas was deterred, seeking regulation, and should be given humanitarian aid to maintain quiet. According to Likud, Netanyahu was first informed of the Hamas attack at 6:29 AM on October 7th. They argued that individuals who saw warning signs overnight failed to act, not updating the police, emergency response teams, kibbutzim, soldiers on the border, festival-goers, or the Prime Minister. Likud concluded that if Netanyahu had been updated in real-time, the outcome would have been different.
