Two weeks before the Israeli elections, the former chief of Shin Bet sued Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for defamation, according to RFI on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
He accuses Netanyahu of lying about their respective responsibilities in handling the alerts and warnings received before October 7, the date of a major attack in Israel. For several weeks, revelations have indicated that Netanyahu did not act on alerts from foreign countries and his own security services.
