Sara Netanyahu, wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed in a Channel 14 television interview broadcast on Monday evening that Yair Golan, former deputy military chief of staff and head of the centre-left Democrats party, was 'already dressed and ready' at dawn on October 7, 2023, implying he knew of the Hamas attack plan in advance. [1] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video posted on 2026-09-01 that the decision by defense officials not to wake him during the early hours of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack was 'a failure, not betrayal.' [2] Gadi Eisenkot, former army chief and frontrunner to challenge Netanyahu, called Sara Netanyahu's remarks a 'mad conspiracy of betrayal' in a post on X, saying they were intended to stoke hatred and perpetuate Netanyahu's rule. [3] Israel's Gaza offensive has killed at least 73,454 people, according to the Palestinian territory's health ministry, which operates under Hamas authority and whose figures are considered reliable by the United Nations. [4] Yair Golan's Democrats party strongly condemned Sara Netanyahu's remarks as 'vile and deceitful,' stating that spreading conspiracies against Golan and smearing his heroism on October 7 crosses a red line bordering on insanity. [5] An unnamed Likud source told Channel 12 News that the purpose of Netanyahu's second video was to distance him from responsibility for the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre ahead of the elections. [6] Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett accused Netanyahu of spreading a false conspiracy against the IDF, Shin Bet, and Yair Golan, and noted Netanyahu agreed to Qatari money transfers to Hamas and canceled the 2021 Flag March after Hamas threats. [7] Netanyahu accused then-IDF Chief Herzi Halevi, then-Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, and former head of the AMAN military intelligence directorate Aharon Haliva of deliberately not waking him on Oct. 7, 2023 because they miscalculated that Hamas would not attack.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world2 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
