The Prime Minister’s Office has rejected a freedom of information request for all or any documents that Benjamin Netanyahu received from the IDF Intelligence Branch in 2023 warning ahead of October 7 of the possibility of an attack by Hamas, Channel 12 news reports.
It says the IDF has stated that four “warning letters” were sent, but that the PMO has denied that it received any warning about a possible attack by Hamas from Gaza, and that all the Intelligence Branch documents it received prior to the invasion and slaughter assessed that Hamas was deterred from attacking.
The request for the material was made in a June 16 letter sent to the IDF and the PMO by the Movement for Freedom of Information and the Hatzlacha Movement for the Promotion of a Fair Society. After some back and forth, the PMO replied with a final rejection two days ago, the report says.
The initial request asked for “all the documents, interactions, assessments and briefings sent to the PM and his representatives in the course of 2023 regarding the dangers, risks and possible implications stemming from social processes, and their connection to the likelihood of war or a deteriorating security situation regarding any element, including Hamas,” the report says.
After the PMO said it had received no such warnings, the two movements suggested that the PMO make public all the IDF intel material it received referencing Gaza, after it is approved by the military censor to make sure there is no harm to national security.
In response, the PMO said it had consulted with Netanyahu, and it had been decided that the documents could not be published in light of their “security classification” and ongoing “sensitivity.”
The PMO also said there was only a single one-on-one meeting between Netanyahu and then-IDF intelligence chief Aharon Haliva in 2023, the report says.
Haliva announced his resignation in April, taking personal responsibility for the failure to prevent the October 7 Hamas invasion and massacre, and stood down in August.

"Many Israelis blame the prime minister for allowing Hamas' Operation Al-Aqsa Flood to happen"
...These reports, as well as the ease with which Hamas fighters breached the Gaza border fence and the slow response of the air force and army, have led some Israelis to speculate that Netanyahu and others in Israeli intelligence and the military welcomed a Hamas attack.
... Observers from the Nahal Oz Base who were warning of the Oct 7th attack for months prior, were actually taken hostage. A video of the Nahal Oz observers in Hamas captivity was recently released in May by the “The Hostages and Missing Families Forum”... formed by families of the Israeli hostages.
While the video went viral in May, I did not see many talking about how this was the same group of observers whose repeated warnings of Oct 7th were dismissed… they were even threatened with court martial
