During a broadcast on Channel 14's 'The Patriots' program, panelist Yaki Adamker raised critical questions regarding the actions of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar in the hours leading up to Hamas's surprise attack on October 7th. Adamker's remarks followed new details about that night published by Noam Amir on Channel 14.
Adamker focused on what he described as an unexplained delay in informing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He questioned why it took three to four hours for a situation assessment report to reach the Prime Minister's office. "How is it possible that at 5:15 AM he doesn't pick up the phone to Netanyahu and tell him we received unusual indications during the night?" Adamker asked.
He emphasized that according to law, the Shin Bet chief is directly subordinate to the Prime Minister. "Ultimately, we know by law that the Shin Bet chief is subject to the authority and power of the Prime Minister," Adamker stated. He further questioned why, after Bar conducted an assessment and decided against a broad operational response, this information was not immediately relayed to Netanyahu.
