Netanyahu blames intelligence failure, not betrayal, for Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, sparking backlash over his account and planned inquiry.
On February 5, 2026, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that the October 7 Hamas attacks resulted from a systemic intelligence failure, not internal betrayal, dismissing claims of misconduct.
He argued that a critical Shin Bet warning reached his office late and was possibly forged, a claim that sparked outrage and skepticism.
Opposition members walked out, accusing Netanyahu of deflecting accountability and staging a media spectacle.
Former leaders challenged his account, and tensions flared over the government’s push for a politically appointed inquiry, while Netanyahu also warned Iran of a severe response to any attack.
Netanyahu culpa al fracaso de la inteligencia, no a la traición, por los ataques de Hamás del 7 de octubre, lo que provocó una reacción violenta sobre su cuenta y la investigación planeada.
