When disaster strikes, Netanyahu will once again avoid responsibility, like on Oct. 7 – opinion
With politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, continuing to deny accountability for October 7, there are mounting worries that the government will do the same if disaster hits again.
The article argues that Israeli political leaders, particularly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, consistently evade responsibility for national disasters, drawing parallels to the October 7, 2023, massacre. Despite numerous warnings from military and security officials, including IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and the head of the Shin Bet, Netanyahu allegedly dismissed these alerts as "exaggeration" and refused to meet with security officials. The author contends that even if future disasters occur, these leaders will again deny knowledge and shift blame, as they did following October 7. The piece criticizes the current government for prioritizing political interests over national security and for a perceived lack of shame or accountability among its members.
