⚡️🇮🇱Israeli Culture Minister Miki Zohar claimed in an interview with 103FM that the October 7 attack “was planned during the previous government,” saying Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar decided to move forward after “seeing the government’s weakness.”

“It happened on our watch, but it was plotted during the previous administration,” Zohar said.

👥 The October Council, representing relatives linked to October 7 victims, rejected the remarks, saying: “We do know when the massacre occurred — during your shift. Shifting responsibility in order to evade it will not bring 2,100 murdered people back to life.”

🖋 Opposition leader Yair Lapid responded by accusing the current government of having “strengthened Hamas as a policy,” adding: “You brought a great disaster upon us. Shame on you.”
