How Netanyahu survived the political fallout from the October 7 attacks
Three years after the deadly Hamas-led October 7 attacks in southern Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fighting for political survival ahead of legislative elections later this month. Reports that Arab leaders warned him of the assault in advance have undercut his claims that Israel's security chiefs are to blame, but his political base appears to be holding.
The Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, is seen as the biggest security blunder in Israeli history. But Netanyahu has blocked a national coal mine, and that is now adding to the speculation.
The third anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack coincides with a climate of strong polarization in the midst of the electoral campaign and with growing reports that Netanyahu's government underestimated the warnings of an attack.
