“In the months preceding October 7, Prime Minister Netanyahu neither met nor spoke with Abbas Kamel, who at the time headed Egypt’s General Intelligence Service, and no Israeli intelligence official conveyed an Egyptian warning to the prime minister.

The prime minister has instructed that a defamation lawsuit be filed on this matter as well.

Furthermore, it is important to clarify: Prime Minister Netanyahu never meets or speaks with the head of a foreign country’s intelligence service without their Israeli counterparts present.

In recent weeks, the left-wing media has been conducting a vicious and false campaign aimed at pinning all of Ronen Bar’s failures and crimes in the run-up to October 7 on Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Behind these false blood libels are also foreign and hostile countries and actors, including Arab states, whose goal is to bring down Netanyahu’s right-wing government and replace it with a left-wing–Arab parties government led by Eisenkot, Yair Golan, and Lieberman, which would withdraw from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Judea and Samaria—and establish a Palestinian state.

That is the question in the elections: it’s either the right, or Palestine.”
