Netanyahu: No One Warned Me About Hamas

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied receiving any warnings regarding Hamas's intention to ignite a war against Israel, placing the blame for the failure to predict the surprise attack on the intelligence agencies. Netanyahu wrote on his official account on "X" that all intelligence agencies believed Hamas was deterred by previous wars and was leaning towards a settlement. He mentioned that this intelligence assessment was presented to him and the security cabinet repeatedly, even just before the outbreak of the war.
