Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused security officials of intentionally failing to wake him on the morning of the October 7 attack, Shehab Wire reported. The allegation addresses the premier's whereabouts and state of awareness during the initial hours of the operation, which Palestinian resistance groups launched against Israeli targets on that date.
Netanyahu's accusation emerged one day after his wife made a public statement claiming that an opposition political figure had anticipated the attack beforehand. The timing of the premier's remarks suggests an effort to deflect responsibility regarding Israel's preparedness for the assault and questions surrounding his involvement in early crisis response measures.
