Following the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu faced immense criticism but avoided taking responsibility for the security lapses. Unlike past leaders, he has yet to engage in inquiries into the attack's failures, which has resulted in plummeting poll numbers. In contrast to historical precedents, Netanyahu has not faced immediate consequences, leaning on support amidst a situation where top military personnel have resigned. This has led political analysts to speculate about his political future, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding his leadership amid calls for accountability.
In contrast, even though leading members of Netanyahu's military and defense establishment have resigned or apologized for their roles in the tragedy of October 7th, he has so far dodged any real accounting.
Political observers in Israel across the ideological spectrum talked about when, not if, Netanyahu would finally fall from power.
