The continuing proliferation of conflicting and contradictory stories leaked by U.S. intelligence services regarding what they knew—and, more importantly, didn’t know—about the planning for Hamas’ assault on Israel, is more than just a D.C. bureaucratic comedy act. Taken together, the profusion of leaks suggests there are people in offices and agencies across the Beltway who are worried they’ll be blamed for missing signals and human intelligence outlining plans for the largest one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
The gaps in U.S. knowledge of the attacks and Iran’s role must also be understood in the context of a separate but related intelligence scandal. As Tablet reported six days before the attacks, the Biden administration’s former Iran envoy Robert Malley supported and facilitated an Iranian spy ring and brought one of the clerical regime’s assets, Ariane Tabatabai, into the government. She is still at the Pentagon, where as chief of staff to the assistant director of defense for special operations, Christopher Maier, she holds top secret clearances. It’s hardly surprising then that the administration is eager to conceal Iran’s supporting role in the Hamas operation and clear the American spy services of any foreknowledge of the murderous incursion of the Iranian-backed terrorist group into southern Israel, no matter how unlikely such claims are in reality.
“We were not tracking this,” a senior U.S. military official told NBC News the day of the attacks. “There’s no particular reason why the U.S. would be training enormous intelligence assets on Hamas, which has never been a threat to us,” former U.S. diplomat Dennis Ross insisted. “It’s pretty hard to say this was a failure on our part. But I think it’s unmistakable that it’s an Israeli intelligence failure.”

“The Biden Administration Tries to Hide What It Knew About an Impending Massacre”
It makes sense that they held back their intelligence - after all their PRIMARY GOAL is to ‘weaken’ Netanyahu.

How does Ariane Tabatabai get a top security job at the Pentagon??????????
Because the Biden administration wanted her there. Very simple.
Or………The U.S. has focused so much on hiring POC, or gender based or fake gender based over ability that they actually didn’t know anything because they’re incompetent. A distinct possibility.
In war time, secrecy is mandatory
The public does not have the need to know
And destroy Israel.

Could this "intelligence failure" been payback?
It goes into the category of "things we'll never know", like Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, or the contents of Epstein's client list, or the Tennessee shooter manifesto.
But circumstantially it seems to be pointing back to certain unelected organizations. My guess is that one of them is the one Truman regretted creating.
You’d think the White House was run by Communists!
Biden knew it was coming and concealed the information to punish Israel for judicial reform.
Biden only does what China tells him. It’s not impossible that they are planning something.
Both Egypt and the US gave Israel warnings which Netanyahu intentionally ignored. I’ve seen video of top Israeli military people who have extensive experience in security on the Gaza border saying such an attack should not have been possible.
I’m leaning toward the suspicion that Netanyahu and Israel’s deep state might have allowed this to happen to have an excuse to empty out Gaza. They probably didn’t expect the level of carnage that occurred.
It’s no coincidence that Biden suddenly reversed his opinion on the Trump Wall and expedited it’s continuation less than a week before the terror attack against Israel.
They must have been hearing something.
Joe is talking to the families of the hostages...
He has his arms full of flowers so he cant look at his watch...
But maybe they dont let him wear a watch...
Once unthinkable, now a reality.
Lots of unanswered questions about a country that is blanketed with billions in US tax dollars for
INTELLIGENCE, military, security, arms, humanitarian, and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
Congressional Research Service
US Foreign aid to Israel
60 page detailed report

The powerful Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.
Since 1973, Israel has received more than $120 billion tax
dollars in military assistance, including “three special aid” packages.
<><>taxpayers paying Israel billions for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty
<><>taxpayers paying billions for Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai.
<><>taxpayers paying billions for redeployment of Israeli forces
Rebuilding Israeli air bases in the Negev cost taxpayers another $5 billion.
Interesting.
