Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has released selected cabinet meeting transcripts and situational assessments in response to the state comptroller's inquiry into the October 7 attacks. The documents highlight statements from then-defense minister Yoav Gallant and security chiefs, portraying them as advocating for restraint and long-term arrangements with Hamas, while Netanyahu claims to have pushed for more aggressive preparations. The curated answers emphasize that top security officials believed the situation in Gaza was stable and that the chances of a broad conflict were low, with some suggesting economic incentives could improve relations with Hamas. Netanyahu's timeline of events on the day of the attack is presented to show his rapid response, including orders to close the Gaza border, call up reserves, and prepare for a ground invasion. He also argues that key information was not relayed to him before the attack, seeking to shift responsibility onto security leadership.
