Zehut Party Chairman Blames Netanyahu for October 7 Massacre

Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut Party and soon-to-be Knesset member, stated in a recent interview that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bears responsibility for the October 7 massacre and should resign. Speaking on the 103fm radio program hosted by Ben Caspit and Yinon Magal, Feiglin asserted that Netanyahu, having served as Prime Minister for 30 years prior to the attack, is accountable as the head of the system, though not solely responsible.

Feiglin explained his return to politics following the October 7 events was to prevent future atrocities. However, he criticized the recent elections, describing them as a "complete charade" primarily focused on the issue of ultra-Orthodox conscription, which he believes turned out to be a "bluff." He noted that the bloc opposing such conscription might ultimately form a government with them.

He expressed particular disappointment with segments of the religious Zionist community, lamenting that many were "sucked into this foolish dispute" and "bought into this bluff." Feiglin stated that his primary concern is not the political left, but rather the internal divisions within the religious Zionist sector.

Feiglin's remarks indicate a significant shift in his political stance, as he prepares to enter the Knesset. His direct accusations against Netanyahu and his critique of the electoral process highlight his intention to be a vocal and critical voice in Israeli politics.
