Netanyahu unaware of who Egyptian spy chief met days before Oct. 7 massacre

Netanyahu spoke to Army Radio earlier on Wednesday, saying that Intelligence failures surrounding the October 7 massacre should not automatically lead to a premier's dismissal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed during an interview with KAN News that he is unaware of whom Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel met with prior to the October 7 massacre. During the same interview, Netanyahu expressed his belief that a deep state exists in Israel, asserting that the situation has reversed from "an army with a state" to "a state with an army". He also commented on the potential formation of a unity government, suggesting that such a government could become a "government of paralysis".
