Israel is observing the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks, prompting renewed scrutiny of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s actions and warnings received prior to the events. Ayala Panievsky, a lecturer at City University of London, discussed with FRANCE 24 the allegations surrounding Netanyahu’s conduct leading up to the attacks, characterizing them as “very damaging.” However, Panievsky notes mitigating factors that may lessen the political risk to Netanyahu, including a divided opposition and his influence over key media outlets. The situation remains unclear regarding whether Netanyahu will face repercussions for his actions during his time in office. These issues arose particularly in the period leading up to recent elections. The anniversary serves as a focal point for assessing accountability amidst ongoing political complexities in Israel.
