Former IDF chief Halutz: Netanyahu concealed warnings before Oct. 7, bears ultimate responsibility
"The bottom lines of a discussion convened by the prime minister are the responsibility of the prime minister, not the other participants in the discussion," the former IDF chief said.
Former IDF chief Dan Halutz has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of concealing critical warnings ahead of the October 7 massacre and taking ultimate responsibility for the failure. Halutz revealed in an interview with 103FM that he believes a conversation took place between Netanyahu and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed days before the massacre, during which Netanyahu was allegedly warned.
Despite this, Halutz asserts that Netanyahu concealed this information from those responsible for addressing the aftermath, stating, "He did not imagine that it would reach that point, but he was prepared to absorb something." The former IDF chief also criticized Netanyahu's failure to summarize discussions during a security meeting, suggesting this contributed to the lack of decisive action.
Halutz criticized Netanyahu's leadership across various sectors, including education, healthcare, transportation, and public safety, emphasizing that the prime minister bears ultimate responsibility for the nation's decline. He called on the public to elect a leader who demonstrates accountability and effective governance.
