Will Netanyahu Pay Politically for October 7 Failures? Expert Weighs In

As Israel marks the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks, questions persist about the warnings Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received beforehand. In an interview with FRANCE 24's Mark Owen, Ayala Panievsky, Lecturer at City University of London and author of 'The New Censorship,' discusses the political fallout. Panievsky notes that the allegations are "very damaging for Netanyahu," but several factors mitigate the risk to his position. These include a fragmented opposition and his control over major media outlets, which help shape public perception. The conversation delves into the broader implications for Israeli democracy and leadership accountability. As elections approach, the extent to which voters will hold Netanyahu responsible remains a key question.
