Likud minister finds the culprit in the 10/7 massacre failure - and it's not Benjamin Netanyahu - "a crazy logical failure"

Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli (Likud) was interviewed on 103FM and determined that responsibility for the October 7 failures lies with Military Intelligence, not with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Chikli called MI's conduct a "crazy logical failure" and harshly attacked Gadi Eisenkot, who described Netanyahu's conduct as "an act bordering on treason." Chikli also criticized the "Amcha Yisrael" party led by Ofer Winter.

Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli (Likud) was interviewed this morning (Sunday) on 103FM and attempted to defend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against criticism regarding the pre-massacre warnings in the Gaza envelope. Chikli determined that responsibility for the October 7 failures lies with Military Intelligence, not with Netanyahu. He called MI's conduct a "crazy logical failure" and claimed that "MI left the sector without commanders, 50% of the order of battle - this is absurd." According to him, "none of MI's warnings dealt with Gaza, not with a raid, not with the walls of Jericho." Chikli harshly attacked Gadi Eisenkot, who said that if the Prime Minister knew about the warnings and did not update the security system, it constitutes an act bordering on treason. Chikli called this "an outrageous claim that amounts to slander" and argued that the one responsible for monitoring the signals is MI. Additionally, Chikli criticized the "Amcha Yisrael" party led by Ofer Winter, claiming that Winter is not committed to the right-wing bloc and that his party is in a bright red zone in terms of polls.
