Israel’s prime minister had previously criticized him for not having been warned about Hamas’ intentions. Now the backtrack: Netanyahu is remorseful and promises his security chiefs “full support.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has apologized for allegations against the secret service for not warning him about war intentions of the Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas, which rules in the Gaza Strip.
A post on the online platform .”
The Prime Minister had previously written on X early Sunday morning that he had never been warned about Hamas’s warlike intentions.
“On the contrary, all security officials, including the head of military intelligence and the head of Shin Bet (domestic intelligence service), were of the opinion that the deterrence was working against Hamas and that Hamas was seeking an understanding.” This assessment was presented to the Prime Minister and the government again and again until the outbreak of war, it said in the now deleted X post.
“Together we will win”
Instead, Netanyahu’s apology win.”
Unlike leading representatives of the military, intelligence and Defense Minister Joav Galant, Netanyahu has so far persistently refused to admit responsibility for Israel’s failure on October 7th.
Terrorists from Hamas and other organizations unexpectedly advanced into Israeli territory a good three weeks ago and carried out massacres among civilians there. Since then, Israel has suffered more than 1,400 deaths.
Female soldiers, whose job is to constantly monitor enemy territory, reported that they had noticed and warned about threatening movements in the Gaza Strip over the weeks and months. However, these warnings were ignored by superiors.
