A newly reported account, citing unpublished minutes from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s diary, suggests a delay in his response to the October 7th Hamas invasion. The report, published by The Times of Israel, indicates Netanyahu remained at his home in Caesarea until at least 8:30 a.m. on the day of the attacks, over two hours after the invasion began. It further states that he did not consult with top security chiefs for another hour and a half following his departure from home. This information raises questions about the initial leadership response to the unprecedented attack. The details come from documented entries in Netanyahu’s personal diary and have not been independently verified. The claims could potentially fuel further scrutiny of the government's handling of the crisis and the early hours of the conflict. The Prime Minister's office has not yet responded to the report.
