Today, Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deleted a tweet in which he criticized the heads of the General Security Agency (Shin Bet), Military Intelligence (Aman), and the Israeli security authorities.

Netanyahu said in the deleted tweet: “No party provided him with warnings of Hamas’ intention to go to war, as their assessments were that the Palestinian factions were deterred and directed them to calm down. These assessments were presented to me time after time and to the cabinet from the security and intelligence agencies.”

Netanyahu deleted the tweet, after violent criticism was directed at him by former Defense Minister Benny Gantz, a minister in the current war government, which he reluctantly joined despite his deep differences with Netanyahu, due to the deteriorating security situation in Israel since the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, which she launched. Palestinian resistance on the 7th of this month.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid also criticized Netanyahu's tweet on the social media platform (X), saying that he "did not receive any notification about the intentions of the Palestinian resistance from the Shin Bet and Aman services before the war."

It is noteworthy that Lapid, a former prime minister, refused to join the war government as it emerged from a government in which there are two extreme right-wing ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.

Lapid said: "Netanyahu has crossed the red line. While the soldiers and leaders of the Israeli army are fighting against Hamas and Hezbollah, he is trying to blame them instead of supporting them," calling on Netanyahu to retract his tweets.

For his part, Gantz said: “The prime minister must immediately retract his tweet.”
