While Israel’s military and intelligence chiefs have owned up to their shortcomings leading up to the attack, Netanyahu has dodged responsibility, creating a growing rift between him and the departments.

Netanyahu has said that there will be time to ask tough questions, including of himself, after the war.

Netanyahu’s response has added to public concerns that he is prioritising his political interests over national security, as he battles a draw-out corruption trial that could threaten his power.

“[Netanyahu] is not interested in security, he is not interested in hostages, only politics,” said opposition lawmaker Avigdor Lieberman, once Netanyahu’s defence minister, in a radio interview.

      No, it needs to be done after Gaza has been ethnically cleansed, the Palestinian people genocided then all those lovely oil & gas reserves can be tapped with the profits pouring into Netanyahus and his co-conspirators bank accounts. Then, and only then should they hold a lip service inquiry into who fucked up!

          And gas…

          And they want to build a canal to the gulf of Aqaba and as it’s rock, it can have 2 lanes and take all the traffic from the Suez (which is sand and only 1 lane of traffic)
