Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded on X, formerly Twitter, to a statement by former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, who claimed he did not have Netanyahu's phone number on the morning of October 7th. Netanyahu expressed disbelief, stating that Bar, who "saw the warning signs" that day, had access to his "red phone" and could have contacted him immediately, as other security officials do.
