Netanyahu and Shin Bet chief Bar each admit partial truths about October 7, exposing deeper issues of trust and leadership. Both officials believed Hamas was deterred and could be contained, but were blindsided by the scope of the Gazan terror group's invasion. Bar pressed Netanyahu to approve assassinations of Gaza chiefs, while Netanyahu pressed Bar to assassinate Hamas deputy chief. Both sides remain silent when given the opportunity to respond. Bar left out details about informing the PMO, while Netanyahu denies being informed. The battle between them may lead to a new system of checks and balances for Bar's successor.
