Netanyahu said as prime minister, he is responsible for securing the future of the country

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday acknowledged for the first time that he would have to give “answers” for security lapses exposed in the deadly October 7 attacks by Hamas fighters.

“The fault will be examined and everyone will have to give answers, including me. But all this will happen later,” the right-wing leader said in a televised address as the Israeli military prepares for a widely expected invasion of the Gaza Strip.

“As prime minister, I am responsible for securing the future of the country,” he said.
