Many Israelis are asking hard questions about the government’s approach before October 7. That isn’t about absolving Hamas of responsibility but about reckoning with what Israel could have done differently. American Jews should be willing to ask those questions, too.

Netanyahu asked UAE leader to deny Haaretz Oct. 7 warning report in secret visit
The UAE's Foreign Ministry declined to comment on reports about the meeting. But it said it maintains 'open and direct lines of communication' with Israel and shares 'all relevant intelligence'
