Bereaved Father Slams Ex-PM Aide for Revealing Secrets

Itzik Bonzel, a bereaved father and Likud candidate, fiercely criticized former Prime Minister's military secretary Avi Gil for allegedly revealing secrets from closed-door discussions in a recent interview. Bonzel accused Gil of trying to protect former IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and shift blame away from the military for the October 7th failures. He argued the public deserves clear answers and that such revelations raise serious questions about confidentiality and national responsibility. The dispute highlights the ongoing political and public struggle over accountability for the events of October 7th.
