Netanyahu cornered after three years of denial over Oct 7 failures
YnetLO·IL·1 day ago
Benny Begin, son of Likud founder Menachem Begin, publicly attacked Prime Minister Netanyahu, asserting ultimate responsibility for the October 7 massacre lies with him, contradicting Netanyahu's claims of being uninformed by the security establishment. This marks a significant intra-party rift within Likud, as Begin left the party five years ago but remains a symbolic figure. The attack intensifies domestic political pressure on Netanyahu amid ongoing investigations and public scrutiny.
