PNN – A former advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the Prime Minister ordered him after the Al-Aqsa Storm operation to prepare a plan for evading legal responsibilities for this failure.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network citing Al Jazeera, Eli Feldstein, Netanyahu’s former spokesperson who is currently appearing in court on charges of leaking confidential information to the press, told the Israeli regime’s Kan news network that the first task Netanyahu assigned him after the Al-Aqsa Storm attack was how to shirk responsibility for this failure.
He added: He asked me: What are they saying in the news? Are they talking about responsibility for this attack? He wanted me to find a formula to reduce the media storm about whether the Prime Minister accepted responsibility or not.

Feldstein said Netanyahu seemed “panicked” when making this request, and people close to him later advised removing the word “responsibility” from all issued statements.
The office of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, responded to these remarks by describing the interview as “a long series of false and repetitive claims” made by an individual with clear personal interests trying to shift blame away from himself.
Feldstein’s statements, made after he was accused of leaking confidential military information to a German newspaper, aimed to improve Netanyahu’s public image following the killing of 6 Israeli prisoners in Gaza in August 2024.
The Palestinian resistance began the Al-Aqsa Storm operation on Saturday, October 7, 2023, which included ground, sea, and air attacks and the infiltration of resistance forces into several Israeli settlements around Gaza. This operation was carried out in response to Israel’s violations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Islamic holy sites in the city of Jerusalem and the ongoing settlement crimes.
The “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation resulted in the killing of approximately 1,200 people in southern Israel and the capture of 251 others who were transferred to Gaza.
