Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized his intelligence chiefs, alleging they failed to warn him about Hamas's large-scale October 7 attack. This caused political turmoil in Israel and a divide within his war cabinet. Despite admissions of failure by top officials, including military and intelligence heads, Netanyahu hasn't taken responsibility for intelligence and operational lapses during Hamas's intrusion into southern Israel. He suggested that tough questions, even about his own leadership, would be addressed post-war. Israel's military spokesperson declined to comment, citing the ongoing conflict. Netanyahu's deleted post asserted that no warnings about Hamas's war intentions were given to him, as security officials believed Hamas sought a peaceful resolution.
