Netanyahu Accuses Security Chiefs of Deliberately Failing to Wake Him on October 7

Yair Golan threatens to sue Sara Netanyahu for 2.5 million shekels after she accused him of knowing about the Hamas attack in advance.

  • On Tuesday, First Lady Sara Netanyahu claimed in a television interview that opposition figure Major General Yair Golan knew of the Hamas attack plan before October 7, prompting Golan to threaten a lawsuit.
  • During the October 7 attack, Golan rushed to the Nova music festival site to rescue survivors while militants killed at least 370 people there; the assault resulted in 1,221 deaths and 251 hostages taken into Gaza.
  • The first lady claimed Golan was 'already dressed and ready' at dawn, 'while others knew nothing, including the prime minister'; Golan's Democrats party condemned the 'vile and deceitful' remarks, demanding an apology.
  • Former army chief Gadi Eisenkot slammed the 'mad conspiracy of betrayal' spread by the premier's wife, as Golan threatened to sue for 2.5 million shekels unless she issued an apology.
  • A Channel 13 poll found 63 percent of current coalition voters believe internal betrayal led to the October 7 attack, reflecting conspiracy theories prevalent within Israeli political circles.
