  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the censorship of his own remarks about responsibility.
  • The censored statement was made in an interview with "Olam Katan" magazine for Sukkot.
  • Netanyahu stated in the removed section that he does not evade responsibility.
  • He added that all decisions would be examined after the war.
  • "Olam Katan" called the reported text a stolen draft, not the final version.
  • The Prime Minister's office did not provide a response to the report.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed that a statement he made regarding his mistakes prior to the October 7th massacre be omitted from an interview. The remarks, made in an interview with Channel 14's "Olam Katan" magazine for the Sukkot holiday, included Netanyahu stating, "I do not evade responsibility, and after the war, every question will be examined, including my decisions, including everyone's decisions. But first, we must win, and we are winning." The interview was sent to Netanyahu for review and comments before publication, and he specifically ordered this section to be removed. The omission was reported by Avishai Greenzeig on "Galboa Index." The "Olam Katan" magazine responded to the report, stating that the text Greenzeig referenced was a draft stolen from Yonatan Urikh's WhatsApp account and not the version sent for publication. They expressed regret that Greenzeig would cooperate with a criminal offense and mislead the public. No response was provided by the Prime Minister's office.
