Netanyahu's Apology and Intelligence Oversight Amid Hamas Attack Controversy

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deleted a social media post in which he blamed the defense and intelligence establishment for failing to provide him with accurate assessments before the deadly Hamas attack on October 7. He later apologized for his claims and expressed full support for the heads of Israel's security establishment. Netanyahu's original post accused the defense officials of not warning him about Hamas' intentions to start a war. The prime minister's remarks sparked criticism from various political figures, including Defense Minister Benny Gantz and former IDF chief Gabi Ashkenazi. Netanyahu's deletion of the post came after a news conference where he promised a thorough investigation into the failure and referred to the ongoing conflict as a "second War of Independence" for Israel.

Netanyahu's Risky Maneuvers Threaten Israel's Stability

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing criticism from former generals and members of the defense establishment who are deeply concerned about the future of the state, the army, and the nation. They warn that Netanyahu's reckless moves, including proposed legislation that would exempt the government from judicial review, could lead to catastrophe. If Netanyahu does not halt the legislation or respond to Defense Minister Gallant's proposal to delay the Knesset's summer recess and reach a compromise, he will bear sole responsibility for the crumbling of the reserve army and potential security threats. The public's immense power lies in their protest against Netanyahu's undermining of the state, and the army's Chief of Staff must make a clear statement to address the situation.
