Emirati intelligence confirm that Netanyahu was warned of Oct. 7th before the attack occurred, taking the lives of thousands of Jews before spiraling into a much wider, catastrophic conflict.
On Oct. 7th Israeli security was unusually sparse.
Around this time, Netanyahu was facing prosecution, a fragile political coalition, diplomatic isolation, and a narrowing window to expand Israel’s security buffer.
The attack ultimately gave justification for the complete decimation of Gaza, the slaughter of innocent children, numerous regional conflicts and wars, and the present day Iran War.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 BUDANOV: THE WAR IS BREAKING RUSSIA’S ILLUSION OF MILITARY INVULNERABILITY
Kyrylo Budanov says Russians are increasingly being forced to confront weaknesses in their own military and air-defence systems as the consequences of the war become harder to keep at a distance.
“The Russians are beginning to understand that their army is not that strong, that their air defense systems are not that good, and that the Russian army is actually not capable of protecting the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory.
This is not at all the second army in the world, and not even the fourth. And the reckoning will come.” – Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦
For Budanov, the deeper shift is psychological.
“The understanding that there will be retribution comes to people when they personally begin to see and feel that the war is not somewhere in some part of the world, but on their own territory. Therefore, the turning point has already begun.”
His argument is that Russia’s strategic depth once helped insulate much of its population from the war Moscow launched. As that sense of distance erodes, so does the perception that Russia can wage war indefinitely without consequences reaching home.

Israeli opposition politicians said that Netanyahu was “unfit” for office after Haaretz reported he had been warned that Hamas was planning a major operation weeks before the Oct. 7, 2023, attack but did not alert security officials. trib.al/ihS4LDZ

🚨🇮🇱🇦🇪 Netanyahu is attempting to turn the Haaretz lawsuit into an election-interference charge…
Likud says the real scandal is foreign meddling, names a Palestinian official it says resides in the UAE as the man behind the paper’s October 7 warning story, and claims he wants a weak left-wing govt. so he can take Gaza.
The PM says journalist Shlomi Eldar was paid by a nonprofit tied to Yair Golan’s Democrats party, and it flags a secret UAE trip by Golan and Ronen Bar.
The party wants a criminal probe of Eldar, Ruth Yuvall, Haaretz, Golan, and the Democrats.
Who’s telling the truth??
