Yair Lapid, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, held the army, the Shin Bet security service and the Supreme Court responsible for “the failures that led to the Hamas attack on October 7.”

In a video on his account on the Telegram application, Yair spoke about “how the Supreme Court changed the security arrangements and instructions for opening fire on the borders of the Gaza Strip.”

The clip showed a lawyer from the Kohelet Political Forum, a conservative think tank whose ideas formed the ideological basis of the controversial judicial reform program launched by the government last January.

Yair also shared a screenshot of a story from the Kan public broadcaster on October 2 that said: “The message sent by Shin Bet and the IDF to the political level: In order to maintain peace in the Gaza Strip – economic operations because Gaza must continue.”

The Prime Minister's son shared with his 14,000 subscribers a headline from a Channel 12 report about surveillance soldiers who warned of Hamas activity on the Gaza border for months before the attack, but were ignored by their commanders.

He also criticized journalists for "asking political questions and conducting opinion polls," in an apparent reference to recent opinion polls showing a sharp decline in support for his father, the prime minister, and his party, Likud.
