A statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledging responsibility for the failures leading up to the October 7th attacks was removed from an interview after it was submitted for his approval, journalist Avishai Greenzaig revealed. During an interview with "Olam Katan," a publication associated with Channel 14, Netanyahu was asked about past mistakes. He responded unusually, stating, "I do not evade responsibility." However, this significant sentence did not appear in the published version of the interview.
Netanyahu's full response to the question about past mistakes was: "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." According to Greenzaig's report, after the raw interview transcript was sent for Netanyahu's review, he requested the censorship of the sentence where he declared he was not evading responsibility, and it was subsequently removed from the publication.
In response to the revelation, "Olam Katan" stated that the draft interview was stolen via a criminal offense from Yonatan Uriach's WhatsApp account. Greenzaig refuted this claim, asserting that his source was legal and legitimate, and the theft allegation is untrue. The Prime Minister's Office has not yet commented on the report.
