Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu severely criticized his secret service for failing to warn him about the attack by the terrorist organization Hamas. However, only a short time later he deleted the post again: after cross-party criticism, the prime minister apologized.
In a message on the online platform, “including the head of military intelligence and the head of the Shin Bet (domestic intelligence) believed that the deterrent against Hamas was working and that Hamas was looking for an agreement.”
The Prime Minister complained that this incorrect assessment had been presented to him until the outbreak of war. Harsh words, but a few hours later he had to go back. The post has since disappeared from the platform and he has issued a new statement.
Netanyahu: “Things should not have been said”
“I was wrong. Things I said after the press conference should not have been said and for that I apologize. I fully support all chiefs of the security forces. I strengthen the Chief of Staff and the commanders and soldiers of the IDF (Israeli Armed Forces) fighting on the front lines in front of the House of Representatives. “Together we will win,” Netanyahu said. He was referring to a press conference on Saturday evening with Israeli Defense Minister Joav Gallant and War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz.
Opposition sees attempt to ‘evade responsibility’
The apology came as the prime minister was reprimanded for his attack on the intelligence services. Opposition leader Jair Lapid wrote further to avoid responsibility and shift the blame to the security establishment.” Gantz also called on the Prime Minister to retract his statement.
