Theory number one after catching up with some Israeli friends: he is clutching at straws trying to do preemptive damage control about the evidence that is going to come out about him...

Namely that on top of the documented fact that he turned a blind eye to the funding channels that were strengthening Hamas, because he likes his enemies to be radical non-negotiators, he also was informed about October 7th but decided it would be expedient to let the horror happen as he thought he could use it to strengthen his power.

Btw. I could not bring myself to watch Fauda season 5.
