As Israel marks 1,000 days since the October 7 attack, former IDF chief and war cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot issued a dramatic plea to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to release the classified minutes of security cabinet deliberations, saying the public deserves the truth about who opposed, supported, or pushed for key wartime decisions including the Rafah invasion and the strike on Iran, according to a report by the 301 the source.
Former IDF chief and war cabinet observer Gadi Eisenkot called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday to release the classified minutes of the security cabinet's wartime deliberations, marking 1,000 days since the October 7, 2023 attack.
According to a report published via the 301 the source, Eisenkot said: 'Reveal the protocols of the cabinet meetings, reveal the truth. Who really opposed the ground maneuver in Gaza, who voted in favor of capturing Rafah, and who pushed for a massive strike on Iran.'
The demand comes amid a preexisting public rift between the two figures. As The Zioneer reported in late June, Netanyahu responded to an earlier warning by Eisenkot by stating he had entered Rafah, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran while Eisenkot had counseled for 'zero action.' The war cabinet observer has repeatedly called for a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 failures.
The report is attributed to a single source; its authenticity and the exact wording of Eisenkot's remarks have not been independently verified. The Prime Minister's Office has not yet responded.
