Overview
- Haaretz reports the Prime Minister’s Office summoned reserve Military Intelligence personnel in May–June 2024 under military secretary Roman Gofman to collect and sort years of security briefing minutes outside normal IDF channels.
- Yedioth Ahronoth/Ynet reporting, relayed by Haaretz and other outlets, says Netanyahu received an April 2018 Military Intelligence assessment—later called “Jericho Wall”—that outlined a coordinated cross‑border assault.
- An internal IDF Military Intelligence review confirmed the 2018 document’s existence, while Netanyahu has maintained he was not briefed on the plan’s details before the war.
- In materials sent to the state comptroller, Netanyahu acknowledged receiving the April 2018 assessment but released a public excerpt that omitted a concluding line warning of Hamas’s long‑term intentions.
- Reports also cite a 2018 Shin Bet review for the National Security Council and a 2022 Southern Command presentation referencing the plan, intensifying calls for an independent inquiry into prior knowledge and document handling.
