Seri also claimed that Netanyahu had been "warned and alerted" before the attacks and that "he ignored it all."

“This is why Netanyahu is personally blocking the establishment of an inquiry commission,” he said.

Earlier Saturday, reports indicated that Netanyahu had received warnings concerning a potential Hamas attack before Oct. 7, 2023, but did not call a meeting to examine the information.

The reports, citing unidentified security officials, further alleged that Netanyahu did not pass the warnings to Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency, Mossad intelligence service or the Military Intelligence Directorate, known as Aman.

Additional reports said former Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamel made a confidential visit to Israel 11 days before the Oct. 7 events and warned Israeli officials about the possibility of an attack by Hamas.
