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.

Likud Pushes Netanyahu's Narrative of No Prior Warnings for Oct. 7 Attack

Likud Pushes Netanyahu's Narrative of No Prior Warnings for Oct. 7 Attack

On the anniversary of the October 7 attack, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party asserted he received no prior warning, blaming security agencies. This contradicts numerous reports from Israeli and international media detailing repeated warnings from Israeli intelligence, Egypt, and the UAE. These warnings, including a specific alert from UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed about Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, were allegedly downplayed or not fully shared. Netanyahu's office has denied receiving some of these warnings, while the political debate over responsibility for the security failure continues.
