The truth doesn't matter

Nave Dromi argues that the publication in Haaretz about the UAE warning Netanyahu before October 7 has no electoral impact, because the Israeli public is already polarized. According to him, those who already believe Netanyahu knew and ignored it will not change their minds, and the publication will not cause votes to shift between camps.

Nave Dromi argues in his column that the publication by Shlomi Eldar in Haaretz, according to which the United Arab Emirates passed a warning to Israel about Sinwar's intention for a major attack and Netanyahu did not act, has no political impact. According to him, the Israeli public is completely polarized: those who already believe Netanyahu knew and deliberately ignored it will not need additional proof, and those who do not believe it will not be convinced. Dromi notes that there is no documentation of such a conversation, and asks why Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar did not specifically warn about it. He calls the belief that Netanyahu wanted the massacre a "malicious conspiracy in the left." The conclusion: the publication has zero impact on election results.
