Days before October 7, 2023, Egypt's intel chief flew to Israel to warn that Hamas was likely preparing a major attack. It was not the only warning. Netanyahu was personally warned, and his security officials were repeatedly notified, including by the president of the UAE.

We grieve for the Israelis taken from their families too soon. Some of those families are protesting Netanyahu's inaction today. He calls reports from NPR, The New York Times, The Atlantic, and Haaretz "fake news" and has spent three years refusing a state commission of inquiry.

Families want answers. So does the world. In 2018, Qatar began sending cash into Gaza with Israel's backing. One $15 million transfer arrived in suitcases. A source said Netanyahu told Likud colleagues the money kept Gaza and the West Bank divided.

The evening of October 7, Qatar's prime minister told Mossad chief David Barnea that Hamas was ready to release all civilians now. Netanyahu's government declined. The next morning, a second channel said Hamas had "no problem releasing all civilians without anything in return."

The Shin Bet's unofficial answer: Netanyahu "only wants war." A senior defense official told Haaretz the hostages' release "did not even enter the list of war objectives." And Netanyahu chose to start a genocide instead.

Since then: children shot in the head for "fun," medics and doctors targeted with "triple tap" strikes, aid sites turned into killing fields, baby formula and wheelchairs refused entry, dogs trained to rape Palestinian hostages.
