I Was Wrong: Netanyahu Offers Official Apology
The rightwing Israeli prime minister has retracted claims that he was not warned of the October 7 Hamas attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has apologized for a post blaming the country’s security services for failing to predict the Hamas attack.
Following his initial statement, Netanyahu received widespread criticism from the country’s media as well as members of his own war cabinet.
On Saturday, after a late-night press conference, Netanyahu’s office wrote on the social media platform X that “under no circumstances and at no stage was Prime Minister Netanyahu warned of Hamas’s war intentions.”
The office added that “on the contrary, all the security officials, including the head of military intelligence and the head of the (internal intelligence) Shin Bet, assessed that Hamas had been deterred and was looking for a settlement.”
