Three weeks before the October 7 massacre, then-Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar made an unusual request to appear before the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee's subcommittee on intelligence services. Ynet has learned that he warned of an imminent possibility of a multi-front war breaking out, and the title of his presentation was 'The Perfect Storm.' His main message was: the division in society encourages the enemies. Security officials say that Bar turned to the committee after he believed his warnings were not being taken seriously by the political echelon.
