Likud Slams Channel 12 Broadcasts as "Fake Propaganda" Aimed at Government's Fall

The Likud party accused Channel 12 of broadcasting "fake propaganda" on the anniversary of the October 7th attack, aiming to topple the Netanyahu government and establish a left-wing one that would create a Palestinian state. Likud presented intelligence reports suggesting security officials believed Hamas was deterred and Netanyahu was not forewarned of the attack. The party credited Netanyahu with key military actions and resisting international pressure, while accusing the channel of seeking to install a government that would make significant concessions.
