Eisenkot, Bennett, Lieberman, and Golan issued a joint statement for the first time in a long while:

“This morning’s shocking revelation demands an immediate and thorough investigation. It joins a series of revelations concerning Netanyahu’s failures and dysfunction, and once again underscores why Netanyahu is fighting for his political life — to thwart the establishment of a state commission of inquiry and prevent the truth from being revealed to the Israeli public.

While Netanyahu and his associates spread false conspiracy theories and attempt to shift responsibility onto the security establishment, it is becoming clear once again that serious warnings reached him directly and that he ignored them. This reflects complacency and a breach of the trust that Israeli citizens placed in him and his government, as well as extreme negligence in the prime minister’s duties and performance. The Israeli public deserves to know: What did Netanyahu know, when did he know it, why did he not inform the security establishment, and why did he not act to protect Israel’s citizens?

Netanyahu and his partners in the October 7 government are unfit to remain in office. We will work with the necessary coordination and responsibility to prevent them from leading the country into another disaster.”
