Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the lawsuit filed by former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, stating: "Ronen Bar, who saw the warning signs on the night of October 7 and didn't call me, says today that he didn't have my phone number. Ronen, are you serious? You had my red phone number, and you could have called me immediately just like all the heads of the security establishment do. My Shin Bet security detail, your subordinates, who are with me 24/7, could have reached me within minutes. How many lives could we have saved if only you had called in time."
