Former IDF chief Halutz: Netanyahu concealed warnings before Oct. 7, bears ultimate responsibility

Former IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of concealing information and bearing ultimate responsibility for the October 7 massacre. Halutz, speaking on 103FM, responded to a Haaretz report that Netanyahu received an explicit warning from UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed days before the attack, stating, "He knew and concealed it." Halutz also criticized Netanyahu for allegedly leaving security discussions without clear decisions, asserting that "the bottom line of a discussion convened by the prime minister is the responsibility of the prime minister." He further broadened his criticism, citing failures in education, health, and transportation, and urged the public not to re-elect Netanyahu.
