Leaked original documents contradict Netanyahu's account to the state inspector, showing he dictated a policy of calm toward Hamas, did not authorize assassinations, and dismissed warnings from Shin Bet. The Shin Bet chief had warned of a severe security situation with a non-negligible chance of arenas converging. This is a domestic political scandal in Israel over accountability for the October 7, 2023 attack.
