Analysis of Netanyahu's Warning Controversy

A huge headline in Haaretz screamed: "Netanyahu received an explicit warning

days before October 7, but did not inform the IDF and Shin Bet."

What's behind this story? In one word,

nothing. You can sell this only to people who either won't read or

have been pounding their brains with a hammer for so long

that they've completely lost the ability to think.

It's more absurd than you think. The Shin Bet chief noted this was only

a preliminary assessment and the warning should be taken seriously because it indicates

Israel's lack of deterrence and that we're on a trajectory toward confrontation.

Listen, you liars, who are you

trying to fool? We know that until the very

last moment, until 6:29 a.m.,

Shin Bet. So what does this sentence mean, “gives greater weight

to the first message we received from Sinwar,” says a senior Shin Bet official?

Well, dear children, it turns out when you read

the article that the message, assuming there even was a

message, first reached the Shin Bet. That is, the entire

false impression created by the headline, that Netanyahu knew something and because he hid it

from the Shin Bet, this happened to us, no. The Shin Bet received the message

first. Did the Shin Bet tell Netanyahu anything? And indeed, on September 15,

Eini Faham and the adviser passed the warning

on to the Shin Bet. That is, before Ben Zayed allegedly spoke to Netanyahu,

they passed this message on to the Shin Bet.
