Haaretz reports:
Facing a barrage of criticism, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deleted a controversial social media post on Sunday in which he blamed the defense and intelligence establishment for giving him faulty assessments before the deadly Hamas attack on October 7.
The prime minister then published a new tweet, saying that he apologizes for his claims and that he fully backs the heads of Israel’s security establishment.
In a post overnight Saturday, Netanyahu asserted that he had never received any warning about Hamas’ intentions to start a war against Israel and blamed the defense establishment – citing Aharon Haliva and Ronen Bar, the heads of Military Intelligence and the Shin Bet security service – for Israel’s failure to anticipate the attack on October 7.
Read the full article. Days after the attack, the editorial board of Haaretz, Israel’s oldest newspaper, blamed Netanyahu and his administration for failing to anticipate the attack.
