Netanyahu faces criticism from former Israeli negotiators who claim the Prime Minister rejected Hamas offers that could have ended the Gaza war and secured captive releases sooner. These allegations have intensified scrutiny of his approach to hostage recovery and conflict resolution in the region.
Egyptian officials reportedly warned Israel of a major Hamas attack, with analysts stating there exists no credible scenario in which Netanyahu was not aware of the threat. This raises questions about intelligence handling and early warning protocols that preceded the conflict.
