The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, today accused the military leadership of deciding not to wake him on the morning of October 7, 2023, the day the Hamas attack occurred that triggered the war in Gaza.
The prime minister's statements come in a context of an extremely polarized country and a few weeks before the legislative elections.
Netanyahu has been the target of criticism for how he managed the response to the October 7 attack, with particular pressure on his responsibility for the intelligence failure that allowed the assault.
