Netanyahu Claims He Wasn't Warned About the Concrete Danger Posed by Hamas. He Damn Well Was

[Beastly Boy]

3. There is more on Ronen Bar's warning at the Times of Israel:

The head of the Shin Bet security agency, Ronen Bar, warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in July 2023 that war was all but certain for Israel if the government continued to plow ahead with its controversial judicial overhaul, a report said Friday, amid the defense and political echelons’ ongoing blame game surrounding October 7.

The report by the Ynet news site said that although Bar appeared certain that Israel was heading for war, he was likely referring either to a war in the north with the Iran-backed Hezbollah, or an escalation in the West Bank leading to a third intifada that could later expand, rather than war with Hamas.

According to the outlet, on July 23, 2023 — a day before the government passed the first major piece of its contentious judicial overhaul legislation — Bar told Netanyahu: “Today I give you a warning of war. We don’t know the day and time in which it will break out, but this is the indication.”

Later that day, with Netanyahu’s blessing, Bar reportedly issued the same warning to Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, who relied on the information to warn of a “violent, multifront confrontation” in a September 20 press conference.

Apparently, not only did the Shin Bet head warn Netanyahu of the high probability of a multi-front war for Israel, he tied it directly to Netanyahu's efforts to overhaul Israel's judiciary - something we don't hear mentioned in the media anymore.
