Gallant accuses Netanyahu of lying over pre-Oct. 7 intelligence docs

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant publicly denounces Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a liar and questions the PM’s pre-October 7 intelligence documents, arguing Netanyahu is manipulating public perception. The PMO released the documents detailing security discussions blaming various defense leaders, including Gallant, for security failures in Gaza. Gallant disputes timing and actions claimed in the documents, including delays around operations against Hassan Nasrallah, and says his trust in Netanyahu was broken, stressing his priority on the state, the defense establishment, and security forces over the prime minister.
