Lieberman said that he personally handed a document to Netanyahu warning of a large-scale Hamas attack. Gadi Eisenkot saw it too, says Lieberman, but it was not taken seriously.
ed note–again folks, the entire ‘Israel didn’t know’ narrative–as believable as a snowstorm on the 4th of July in Texas–that tragically has been embraced by large numbers of pro-Palestinian/Axis of Resistance types, is THE ignition spark that is responsible not only for the deaths of over 30,000 innocent men, women, children in Gaza, but as well, the ‘final solution’ viz where the Jypsy State intends to take all of this in the very near future, which is nothing short of WWIII/Armageddon.Those of you who proudly wear your membership in the ‘anti-Zionist/anti-war truth movement’ outraged at what has taken place since Oct. 7?
PROVE IT.
Stop passing along the poisoned chalice of ‘Israel didn’t know’ to your friends, family members, co-workers, etc, and start speaking the truth, even if it is ugly, even if it hurts and even if it means ‘breaking with doctrine’ amongst your pro-Palestinian friends that–
ISRAEL, AND IN PARTICULAR THE WARLORD BENAJMIN NETANYAHU, NOT ONLY KNEW THE OCT. 7TH ATTACKS WERE COMING, BUT INDEED HELPED AGGRANDIZE THE EVENTS OF THAT DAY VIA THE ACTIONS OF THEIR DEEPLY EMBEDDED MUSTAARVIIM AGENTS WHO ENGAGED IN ALL THE ‘JRAMA’ INVOLVING SEXUAL ASSAULTS, DECAPITATED BABIES, ETC, IN ORDER TO GET WWIII/ARMAGEDDON LAUNCHED ONE YEAR BEFORE THE 2024 ELECTIONS IN THE US.

Former defense minister Avigdor Lieberman’s warning in 2016 of a Hamas attack like Israel experienced on October 7 was dismissed immediately by the cabinet, he told Reshet Bet on Wednesday.
In December 2016, Lieberman handed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a document warning of a large-scale Hamas attack in Israel.
‘Hamas intends on moving the next conflict to Israel’s territory by getting significant numbers of well-trained forces in Israel’s territory, occupying an Israeli town (or even a number of towns), and taking the residents hostage,’ the document read, adding that ‘Dismissing a decision to ‘surprise attack’ Hamas would be a severe error with far-reaching consequences which could be similar to the results of the Yom Kippur War.’
Lieberman said that he personally handed it to Netanyahu and that then IDF chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot saw it too but that it was not taken seriously.
‘The cabinet debated the document, but that unfortunately, it was dismissed. I always said this was a ticking time bomb and we needed to act’, he said.
He also warned that despite assurances that Israel is inspecting humanitarian aid that is going into Gaza, it cannot be effective because the trucks are inspected on the Israeli side. The trucks then drive for more than an hour through Egypt before entering Gaza through the Rafah checkpoint where Israel cannot check them.
Lieberman’s document is not the only indication that the government and defense system knew that Hamas was capable of or planning to carry out an attack of that calibre, as Netanyahu himself discussed the concern in his autobiography Bibi: My Story, which came out last year.
In a chapter titled Tunnel Wars that begins with 2014’s Operation Protective Edge, Netanyahu described exactly the sort of attack carried out by Hamas on October 7.
‘Our intelligence had previously discovered that Hamas had dug dozens of terror tunnels meant to cross under the border fence,’ he wrote. ‘Their specially-trained forces could emerge from below ground and infiltrate unseen into the very heart of Israeli communities to kill and kidnap civilians and soldiers alike. Hamas intended to surprise Israel by initiating the simultaneous penetration of hundreds of terrorists into the country. They planned to enter kindergartens and schools, murder Israelis, and whisk dozens of hostages to Gaza back through the tunnels…’
Meanwhile, more recently, opposition leader Yair Lapid gave a statement just before Yom Kippur this year warning of an impending war.
‘On Yom Kippur Eve, I’m forced to warn Israel’s citizens: we are getting dangerously close to a multi-front violent conflict,’ he said. ‘According to reports from the defense system, the number of alerts from the West Bank is unprecedented, and the recent events at the Gaza border are exactly the type that, in the past, led to conflicts.’
He added that while previous governments knew how to thwart such eventualities, this time it wouldn’t happen because the government wasn’t coordinated with the defense sector.
