Three years after the October 7 massacre, Yossi Hadar argues that all the fronts threatening Israel remain open and dangerous.

Hadar warns against Netanyahu's continued tenure, which he describes as a threat to Israeli democracy and security.

Three years after the October 7 massacre, Yossi Hadar argues in his column that all the fronts threatening Israel remain open and dangerous: Hamas is still on its feet with tens of thousands of terrorists, Hezbollah still threatens, and Iran still has stockpiles of enriched uranium and missiles. Hadar harshly attacks Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of a severe security failure. He claims that Netanyahu received countless warnings before October 7 from the heads of the military, intelligence, and Shin Bet, as well as from the President of the United Arab Emirates, but ignored them all. Hadar dismisses the denial attempts by "Netanyahu's mouthpieces" and calls for the establishment of a state commission of inquiry, which he says will be established in the coming months. He warns of the collapse of international support for Israel, especially in the US and Europe, and argues that the government's policy is responsible for this. Hadar warns that the upcoming elections are a "fateful choice" between freedom and tyranny, and warns against completing the "regime coup" that would eliminate Israeli democracy. The column uses emotionally charged language with a distinct political bias, presenting a sharp dichotomy between Netanyahu's supporters and opponents.
