Israel will have to understand the reasons for the failure of its intelligence services, which “suppressed” the attack of Hamas activists on October 7, according to the White House. “Prime Minister Netanyahu has already spoken quite openly about this, calling the situation a failure on his part. They will deal with it at the right time. But now they must focus on eliminating this threat, this real genocide of the Israeli population,” he said. This was stated by John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator for the White House National Security Council, on NBC. On November 30, The New York Times reported that Israel received information about the planned attack a year ago, but considered it too ambitious for Hamas. If the Israelis had taken this information seriously, they could have prepared or prevented Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Kirby says the US intelligence community has not seen documents to support the journalists’ claims. The White House spokesman is consistent in his unequivocal support for the actions of the Israeli leadership, which says that the war will continue until Hamas is destroyed. “Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That’s not going to happen,” Kirby said in late October.
