Naftali Bennett, leader of the "Yachad" party, has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of demanding gratitude from those affected by the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, instead of taking responsibility for failures. Speaking on army radio, Bennett stated, "Instead of taking responsibility, the Prime Minister is asking the victims to thank him." He described this behavior as unworthy of a person and a leader.
Bennett's remarks came as the Likud party released a statement on the third anniversary of the attack. While commemorating the victims, the statement also highlighted Netanyahu's wartime achievements, including the return of hostages, military successes against Hamas and Hezbollah, and actions against Iran. Bennett asserted that Netanyahu has yet to acknowledge personal responsibility for the failures that preceded the October 7th attack.
The Prime Minister has repeatedly blamed the military, intelligence services, political opponents, and anti-government protesters for the events. Meanwhile, an estimated 50,000 people attended a main memorial ceremony in Tel Aviv organized by survivors and families of the deceased. Government representatives were reportedly absent from this event.
