Ex-Shin Bet Chief: Netanyahu Ignored Pre-Oct 7 Warnings

Former Shin Bet director Ronen Bar confirms that PM Netanyahu was warned shortly before the Hamas attack on Oct 7, 2023, contradicting Netanyahu's denials. The revelation comes four weeks before Israeli elections, injecting a security accountability issue into the campaign. The claim is partially corroborated by prior reports, but the full extent of the warnings and Netanyahu's response remains under investigation.
