Netanyahu has apologised for a tweet in which he blamed Israel’s security agencies for the failures that led to the October 7 attack.
Netanyahu had tweeted that he was not presented with any intelligence ahead of Hamas’s attack. He pinned the blame on the army’s chief and the head of the Shin Bet for having judged that the armed group was “deterred”.
“I was wrong. The things I said should not have been said and I apologize for that. I give full backing to all the heads of the security arms,” Netanyahu said on X.
His apology came following a stormy morning for the PM as politicians from across the political spectrum criticised him for inflaming division within the Israeli establishment.
