Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered officials to 'act to contain, minimize the escalation' in Gaza just days before Hamas's October 7 attack, according to a report aired on Israeli television. The revelation has drawn scrutiny in Israel, as it suggests the government was focused on easing tensions in Gaza immediately before the surprise assault that triggered the ongoing war.
Why now: New reporting on the prime minister's directives just before the October 7 attack is fueling debate over Israel's preparedness and intelligence failures.
