Shlomo Filber, a commentator for Channel 14, has criticized Channel 12's reporting on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's alleged awareness of warnings before the October 7th attack. Filber argued on his X account that the reports, specifically those by Yaron Abramov and Avi Gill, are inadvertently incriminating the entire Israeli security leadership for alleged criminal negligence in the weeks, night, and initial hours of the Hamas massacre.
Filber specifically targeted Avi Gill, the former Military Secretary to the Prime Minister, stating Gill "knew everything in real time, understood everything in real time." He questioned why, if numerous warnings were received, intelligence gathering wasn't intensified, additional sources weren't activated, and drills weren't conducted for emergency response teams in the Southern Command and along the border.
Filber asserted that even if Netanyahu did not explicitly authorize actions, the security leadership, particularly the Military Secretary, failed in their duty to protect the 1,200 victims and residents of the Gaza envelope communities. He stated this was their responsibility for which they received their positions and salaries, and that the Military Secretary "apparently was negligent."
In contrast, other media figures praised Channel 12's report. Barak Seri described it as "crazy" and focused on a "failed, arrogant" prime minister who allegedly ignored warnings from security officials, the IDF Chief of Staff, the Shin Bet chief, the Air Force commander, and former military officials, including then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot, and Opposition Leader Yair Lapid.
Channel 12 is scheduled to air an interview with retired Major General Avi Gill on Wednesday evening, who served as Netanyahu's Military Secretary at the start of the Iron Swords War.
