Opposition leader Yair Lapid has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of ignoring repeated warnings about potential violence in the months leading up to the October 7 massacre. Newly released intelligence documents reveal that Israel's defense officials misjudged the intentions of Hamas, believing the group was deterred and seeking economic agreements. Lapid shared evidence of his own warnings to the public and criticized Netanyahu for not collaborating with the defense establishment to address the threats. Former defense minister Yoav Gallant also disputed Netanyahu's account of decision-making before and after the attack, asserting that key military actions were taken independently of the prime minister's directives. The controversy highlights ongoing political tensions as more details about the lead-up to the attack emerge.
