Everyone is responsible for the failure

Avi Shilon argues that responsibility for the October 7 failure lies with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even if he received a general warning. He links this to the Israeli national team's match in Ireland, noting that Israel does not host matches due to its degraded international standing. Shilon calls for redirecting the public debate to how to rehabilitate in the region, rather than focusing on the question of warnings.

Avi Shilon, in an opinion column on ynet, argues that responsibility for the October 7 failure lies with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whether or not he received a general warning. Shilon explains that Netanyahu is responsible not only as a sole culprit, but as the head of the system. He links this to the Israeli national team's match in Ireland, noting that Israel is not permitted to host international matches due to its degraded international standing. Shilon claims that the collapsed concept is not military, but rather the belief that the Palestinian issue can be pushed aside with money or force. He calls for redirecting the public debate to how to rehabilitate in the region and restore Israel's standing in the world, instead of focusing on the question of warnings. Shilon notes that he has not yet heard a meaningful message on this issue from any election candidate.
