There was no warning of war: Netanyahu blames the secret service

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

In a message on the online platform Contrary, all security representatives, including the head of military intelligence and the head of Shin Bet (domestic intelligence), believed that the deterrent against Hamas was working and that Hamas was looking for an agreement.”

This assessment was presented to the prime minister and government again and again until the outbreak of war, the X-post said.

Unlike leading representatives of Army, Intelligence and Defense Minister Joav Galant, Netanyahu has so far stubbornly refused to acknowledge responsibility for Israel’s October 7 failure.

Terrorists from Hamas and other organizations made a surprise advance into Israeli territory three weeks ago, carrying out massacres of civilians. Since then, Israel has suffered more than 1,400 deaths.

According to media reports, the background to Netanyahu’s X-Post is a question a journalist from the army radio station asked him at a rare press conference on Saturday evening. The journalist said that before the massacre, Netanyahu had received documents from military intelligence and Shin Bet warning of a growing threat of war. He asked the head of government whether he had ignored these letters. Netanyahu’s X-post spoke of “false claims.”

Female soldiers, whose job is to continuously monitor enemy territory, reported noticing and warning of threatening movements in the Gaza Strip in recent weeks and months. However, these warnings were ignored by superiors.
