Netanyahu Responds Harshly to Lapid
In a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the accusations of the main opposition leader Yair Lapid regarding the events of October 7. The statement emphasized that Netanyahu did not receive any warning “one month before October 7, and “not even one hour before”, “Yair Lapid is lying again.”The statement was given.
In his testimony to a commission of inquiry into the failure of the Netanyahu government to prevent the October 7 attacks, Lapid said the military’s responsibility for the attacks was “It does not relieve the political level of its responsibility”In this context, Lapid claimed that Netanyahu ignored the warnings that came before the October 7 attacks in the Gaza Strip and made the following statements:
- “The government has really been kept informed.”
- “I was also briefed and the intelligence information that I observed was of course also seen by the prime minister and his ministers.”
These discussions have once again revealed how tense the political climate in the country is. This polemic between political figures is also increasing deep concerns about public safety and government accountability.
