Former Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich has leveled unprecedented accusations against the Prime Minister's Office regarding its handling of events leading up to the October 7th attacks. In a radio interview, Alsheich suggested Israel may have fallen victim to a deep deception campaign orchestrated both internally and externally. He cited reports indicating that all security warnings were interpreted as political by the Prime Minister's Bureau, a stance he described as "appalling."
Alsheich questioned how external warnings were also dismissed if internal alerts were disregarded for political reasons, stating, "How do we explain this disregard, which has no political explanation?" He referenced a report about the "Brouwer case" where the Prime Minister allegedly asked "Why are they shooting?" upon receiving news of intense firing, implying this question came from someone assured of no conflict. This led Alsheich to suspect a "super serious" involvement of Qatar in a deception operation targeting Israel, necessitating an investigation.
He further posited that fostering a narrative of "nothing will happen" allowed for the dismissal of warnings. Alsheich compared the situation to the aftermath of 9/11, questioning how long it would take for a leader to be impeached if they enabled a country to fund Al-Qaeda. He characterized Qatar as a "monster of soft war" against Israel, investing in academia, sports, and real estate to gain leverage.
Alsheich noted that Hamas leadership resides in Qatar, influencing regional agendas. Regarding the continued employment of individuals like Yonatan Uriach, Alsheich suggested the Prime Minister is trapped, unable to reverse course without facing severe repercussions. "If he goes back, everything will explode in his face," Alsheich stated, concluding that the Prime Minister is "trapped with the Qataris, which ensures the continuation of Hamas's rule in the Strip."
