Netanyahu under fire for evading responsibility for failure to foresee Hamas attack

23 Sept 06:11 Key points summarised by AI

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly attempting to shift blame for the October 7 Hamas attack from himself to the Israeli army.
He is accused of orchestrating a campaign to gather evidence against the military, claiming he did not receive critical intelligence about the impending assault.
Netanyahu's efforts include appointing an unusual spokesperson for military correspondents and actively "building his case" against the army, with his wife reportedly assisting in collecting evidence.
Despite his attempts, the Israeli public and even members of his own Likud party express significant anger, asserting that he cannot evade accountability for the severe intelligence failure.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
