All the claims swirling around this seem to be arranged as a way of attacking Netanyahu politically.
There were those reports that Hamas training exercises were reported a full year before Oct 7th.
But it should be noted that Yair Lapid was PM one year before Oct 7th and Naftali Bennett was PM one year before that. Are we to pretend those two had nothing to do with IDF preparedness?
A pretty clear picture of oct. 7 failures is already understood. (See post #13). NYT is desperately trying to confuse things in their war against Netanyahu.
The political assault on Netanyahu is critical because the massive street protests and pressure from Biden on him over judicial reform led to something.
Three possible scenarios.
1. Protests pressured Netanyahu to do a J6 to light a backfire to stop his removal from power through these protests and the ongoing corruption trial.
2. Protests were a key contributing factor in undermining Israel’s ability to perceive the Hamas threat and respond to it. The protests fed a lack of readiness on October 7th.
3. Did forces behind Protests stage October 7th as a Deep State Op to ensure Netanyahu’s removal from power destroy him politically?
Regardless of the outcome of the current war, I don't see how Netanyahu survives politically. There will be plenty of blame to go around, but as the PM he will be first in line.
