Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded sharply to a lawsuit filed by former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, questioning Bar's claim that he did not have the Prime Minister's phone number on the night of October 7th. Netanyahu stated, "Ronen Bar, who saw the warning signs on the night of October 7th and did not call me, says today that he did not have my phone number. Ronen, are you serious? You had my red phone number, and you could have immediately called me as all heads of the security establishment do."
Netanyahu further emphasized that Bar's own security detail, who are with the Prime Minister constantly, could have reached him within minutes. "Your subordinates, who are with me 24/7, could have reached me within minutes. How many lives could we have saved if you had only called on time," Netanyahu added, implying that Bar's failure to contact him directly led to preventable casualties.
