Israeli premier accused of destroying evidence to avoid responsibility for Hamas attack
An Israeli opposition movement has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of destroying evidence and documents to avoid responsibility for the Al Aqsa Flood operation conducted by Hamas earlier this month.
Engaged in protests against Netanyahu, Israel’s Democracy Movement sent a letter to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and described the Hamas attack as a “complete intelligence and operational surprise.”
In the letter also published on Facebook, the movement said that despite the significant impact felt by all Israeli citizens on "Black Saturday," referring to the Oct. 7 operation by Hamas, Netanyahu has refrained from accepting responsibility.
It also claimed that Netanyahu has also been obstructing any future investigative committees.
The letter urged the attorney general to intervene and recover what was burned or erased, and work to preserve information before and after the Hamas attack.
As of now, Netanyahu has not issued any statement regarding these allegations. Israeli security officials and politicians have admitted that they could not foresee the attack.
