[The Prime Minister refuted the former director of the Shin Bet, accusing him of failing to provide timely warning of the attack] On October 14, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu posted a message through his social media account, refuting Barr, the former director of the Israeli National Security Agency (Sin Bet), accusing him of failing to provide him with critical warning in time on the eve of a large-scale attack by the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on October 7, 2023. Earlier in the day, Barr filed a defamation lawsuit against Netanyahu in court, accusing Netanyahu of spreading false statements, claiming that Barr knew about the threat hours before Hamas launched a large-scale attack on October 7, 2023, but deliberately concealed it from the prime minister. Barr claimed in the indictment that he did not even have the prime minister's personal phone number at the time. Netanyahu responded that Barr had seen warning signs on the eve of the attack but failed to report them to him. He emphasized that as the head of the security department, Barr not only has the prime minister's confidential phone number, but can also be contacted at any time through the security agents around him.
