The former Military Secretary to Prime Minister Netanyahu has broken his silence regarding the events leading up to the October 7th Hamas attack. He stated that Netanyahu was fully briefed on all intelligence reports and security assessments, and no information was withheld from him. He accused Netanyahu of submitting incomplete documentation to the State Comptroller concerning the period before the attack, describing the submitted documents as containing "half-truths." Additionally, the former secretary revealed that Netanyahu began to suspect in early 2023 that various parties were attempting a "personal coup" against him, and perceived the Israeli military as part of this effort.
