Media personality Barak Seri sharply criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following a Channel 12 report detailing warnings the premier allegedly ignored in the months leading up to the October 7th Hamas attack. Seri described the report by Yaron Avraham as "crazy" and characterized Netanyahu as "failed, arrogant, and conceited."

In a post on his X account, Seri asserted that Netanyahu had disregarded numerous warnings from security officials, including the IDF Chief of Staff, Shin Bet head, Air Force commander, and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot and Opposition Chairman Yair Lapid. Seri claimed that Netanyahu, described as "arrogant" and "bored," even refused to meet with military leaders to hear these warnings, adding that the information was documented and some of it filmed.

Seri further accused Netanyahu of continuing to lie about not being warned, calling anyone who believes this after watching the report a "delusional liar." He also referenced a previous criticism he made about Netanyahu, suggesting that beyond his English, the Prime Minister has "a sea of failures, blunders, and disasters."

Seri co-hosts a program on Channel 12 with Ofira Assaig and Eli Ohana. His recent comments follow Netanyahu's UN address and an interview where the Prime Minister critiqued Gadi Eisenkot's ability to articulate ideas in English.
