Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot rejected the betrayal theory, attributing the events to "deep negligence" and accusing Netanyahu of spreading lies. Eisenkot stated that Netanyahu's actions undermine public trust. A letter warning of a Hamas attack was reportedly sent to Netanyahu six weeks prior to October 7th.

  • MK Tali Gottlieb claims a "malicious betrayal" and "rebellion" occurred before the October 7th attack.
  • Gadi Eisenkot rejects the betrayal theory, citing "deep negligence" instead.
  • Eisenkot accuses Prime Minister Netanyahu and his family of spreading lies and fostering the betrayal narrative.
  • A letter warning of a Hamas attack was reportedly sent to Netanyahu six weeks before October 7th.
  • Gottlieb suggested Netanyahu was not informed of threats to prevent him from enacting contingency plans.

Member of Knesset Tali Gottlieb stated on Channel 14 that a "malicious betrayal" occurred within the Shin Bet leadership and a "rebellion" against the Prime Minister on the night of October 6th. She claimed that signs of an impending war were evident but not reported to Prime Minister Netanyahu, fearing he might "release contingency plans and save the South." Gottlieb is promoting a "betrayal theory" regarding the October 7th Hamas attack.

Former IDF Chief of Staff and National Unity party leader Gadi Eisenkot strongly criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu and his family, accusing them of "constantly spreading lies" and fostering the betrayal theory. In an interview with 103fm radio, Eisenkot stated, "Netanyahu's success is the State of Israel's disaster." He asserted that while "deep negligence" existed, there was no betrayal, and that Netanyahu and his family are undermining public trust in state institutions by promoting this narrative.

Former National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi reportedly confirmed receiving a letter on August 16th, six weeks before the attack, from an individual warning of a planned Hamas offensive. The response to the letter was reportedly formal, stating "Your letter has been received."

Eisenkot also mentioned that Netanyahu "took very problematic partners, which limited his ability to function logically," contributing to his own "heavy-hearted" departure from a previous role.
