Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again pushes off a question about his personal responsibility for the failures that led to the October 7 Hamas massacres, saying this question will be dealt with after the war.

“Did people ask Franklin Roosevelt, after Pearl Harbor, that question? Did people ask George Bush after the surprise attack of November [sic] 11?,” Netanyahu tells CNN, referring to the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.

“It’s a question that needs to be asked… and I’ve said we’re going to answer all these questions, including me,” after the war, he continues.
