The Likud party published an unusual statement in which it harshly attacked Channel 12, claiming that its broadcasts on the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre are "false political propaganda" aimed at toppling the right-wing government led by Benjamin Netanyahu and leading to a left-wing-Arab parties government that would establish a Palestinian state. The statement, which opened with words of remembrance for the fallen, claimed that Netanyahu did not receive any early warning of the Hamas attack, and that the heads of the security establishment claimed Hamas was deterred. Likud cited alleged intelligence documents to support this claim. It further claimed that Netanyahu led the ground maneuver in Gaza, the conquest of Rafah, the release of the hostages, the pager operation, the elimination of Nasrallah, Sinwar, and Deif, the conquest of Mount Hermon, and the elimination of Khamenei and the Iranian nuclear scientists. The statement included a renewed attack on Channel 12, which it called "false consciousness engineering" in the midst of an election campaign.
