Israel, ex-007 Yigal Carmon accuses: “I warned you about the Hamas attack”

«Bibi thought he had achieved peace of mind, he believed that Hamas would have no reason to attack. In this there was true complicity on the part of the Israeli government: it refused to believe the evidence that an attack was being prepared.” Yigal Carmon, born in Romania 77 years ago, spoke to Corriere della Sera and was Yitzhak’s anti-terrorism advisor Shamir and Yitzhak Rabin, a colonel with Aman, Israeli military intelligence. In May, August and again in early September, Carmon warned of the imminent threat from Hamas in detailed interventions from Memri, his open source analysis center in the Middle East. , writes the newspaper.

“For at least ten years, Netanyahu’s idea”, says Carmon, “was to let Hamas leaders receive money from Qatar and get rich or at least concentrate on dominating Gaza”, with “1.5 billion dollars in ten years”. “Qatar is Hamas and Hamas is Qatar, its influence is greater than that of Iran,” he says. And Netanyahu, he continues, “let himself be fooled, there were all the signs that Hamas was preparing an attack and diverting it from the path, it was he who did not want to understand”.

Carmon speaks of signs that “were many, clearly visible” from “Telegram videos of military exercises in Gaza in September, propaganda, conferences, speeches”. And, he continues, “they didn’t do much to hide their intentions, I wrote about it several times”. «The director of the Shin Bet, Ronen Bar, on the night of October 6th, a Friday, understands that something is about to happen and calls a meeting for the next morning, at 8. That night he even stays to sleep in the office: very unusual for a Shabbat. Unfortunately – he concludes – at 8am on Saturday it was already too late to prevent the attack, the attack had already started at six-thirty in the morning”.
