This confirms what I reported at the time, but there is more to the story. Not only did Israel know in advance, Israel participated in the attack upon itself. Several Israeli intelligence officials and commanders of sections of the barrier separating Israel from Gaza have made it clear that it is impossible to even approach, much less penetrate, the barrier without detection. For the October 7 Hamas attack to succeed, the barrier’s alarms had to be turned off and barrier patrols stood down.

At the time I speculated that there was also involvement of the US neoconservatives in the Biden regime. It was a conspiracy with three aims: (1) to solve Netanyahu’s legal and political problems with a crisis; (2) to bring about a final solution to the Palestinian problem, and (3) to expand the war into Lebanon, thus leading to the much desired attack on Iran. Why else were US carrier task forces, fighter aircraft, and troops immediately deployed in the area? Certainly not to help Israel in Gaza.

There is a lot more to this story to come out.
