In an interview on Channel 14, former senior intelligence official Tamir Morag alleged that Shin Bet director Ronen Bar dismissed Prime Minister Netanyahu and failed to wake him on the night of October 7, 2023. The claim, part of a segment titled 'Revolt of the Generals,' has not been independently corroborated.
In an interview broadcast on Channel 14 Tuesday afternoon, former senior intelligence official Tamir Morag alleged that Shin Bet director Ronen Bar disregarded Prime Minister Netanyahu and failed to wake him on the night of October 7, 2023. The accusation was made during a segment titled 'Revolt of the Generals.' As The Zioneer previously reported, commentator Yaakov Bardugo and Morag himself had already made similar allegations in a weekday evening broadcast on June 22, claiming that 'deep-state elements within the security establishment disregarded Prime Minister Netanyahu and sidestepped standard protocols before the October 7 attack.' The current interview repeats and expands on those claims. Neither the Shin Bet nor the Prime Minister's Office has commented. The allegation remains unverified by independent sources.
