The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, accused the military leadership today of having decided not to wake him up on the morning of October 7, 2023, the date of the Hamas attack that triggered the war in Gaza.
This accusation comes in a context of a highly polarized country, a few weeks away from the Israeli legislative elections.
Netanyahu's statements represent a tense moment in the relations between political power and the military leadership of Israel, in a period when accountability for the events of October 7 has become a central theme in the Israeli public debate.
