Netanyahu's Apology for Criticizing Intelligence Chiefs over Hamas Attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu initially blamed his intelligence officials for not warning him about the deadly Hamas attack on Oct. 7, but later retracted his remarks and issued an apology. Netanyahu's apology came after he posted a scathing rebuke against his own intelligence officials, sparking criticism from Israeli citizens who blamed him for the intelligence failures. The attack, which resulted in over 1,400 Israeli deaths, has raised concerns about the government's failure to anticipate and prepare for the incident.
