He's cooked -
PM said warned while hospitalized months before Oct. 7 of Israel’s exposure to attack
Report says security chiefs told Netanyahu right after he had pacemaker fitted that country’s foes saw overhaul tensions as opportunity to strike; PM’s office: ‘Slander and lies’
While recovering at the hospital after having a pacemaker fitted in the summer of 2023, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned by security chiefs that Israel appeared increasingly vulnerable to attack, with the country’s foes viewing the deep societal strains over the government’s judicial overhaul push as an opportune time to strike, according to an investigative television report aired Thursday.
The revelation that Shin Bet head Ronen Bar and military chief Herzi Halevi both relayed warnings to Netanyahu while he was hospitalized that July on the eve of the final Knesset votes on the first piece of coalition legislation to curb the judiciary’s independence was among a number of dramatic new details that Channel 12’s “Uvda” reported relating to the devastating Hamas-led terror onslaught several months later, sparking the ongoing war in Gaza and correlated fighting throughout the region.
The TV program also cited transcripts of Netanyahu’s initial conversations with his then-military secretary shortly after Hamas launched its invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023, as they sought to understand the scope of the attack that would result in the worst massacre of Jews in a day since the Holocaust; said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told fellow cabinet ministers during a meeting later that day the public would be justified in demanding their resignations; and further reported on the alleged doctoring of the transcripts by a top aide to Netanyahu.
The Prime Minister’s Office lashed out at “Uvda” and its anchor Ilana Dayan over the report, denouncing it as “slander and lies against Prime Minister Netanyahu aimed at harming the right-wing government.”
“The conscious-engineering enterprise ‘Uvda’ will continue with the propaganda and mask of lies, while Prime Minister Netanyahu will continue leading Israel to a historic victory,” the statement from the premier’s office stated, while pushing back against a number of specific claims by the investigative program.
