Hamas attack on Israel. Netanyahu does not want an investigation
“Le Figaro” reminds that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stubbornly refused to open an official investigation into the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 and the negligence of the Israeli services responsible for intelligence and national security.
In response to the French newspaper’s questions regarding the information disclosed by KAN, the spokesperson of the Israel Defense Forces replied, “The army is investigating the events of October 7 and the events that preceded it.”
“The purpose of the investigation is to learn lessons from this attack and the results will be presented to the public with full transparency,” the spokesperson added.
