## Netanyahu's pre-October 7 failure
Netanyahu's government failed to prevent the October 7 Hamas massacre.

> he now claims that security officials deliberately let him sleep through the attacks so that he could not prevent them
## Post-October 7 strategy
Netanyahu unleashed full military force against the Iranian octopus.

> he would unleash the power of the Israel Defence Forces against the Iranian octopus with maximum ferocity
## Global reactions
Pro-Hamas anti-Israel protests began globally within days of October 7.

> less than a week after the Hamas invasion, then-New York State assemblyman Zohran Mamdani accused Israel of being on the brink of genocide
## Hamas casualties
Netanyahu's strategy killed tens of thousands of Hamas fighters and civilians.

> hamas shares the blame for that, as it embeds its militants and weaponry in civilian populations
## Iranian impact
Iran has not attacked Israel directly since Netanyahu's strategy began.

> iran has not attacked israel directly after the second israeli-american air war
## What happens next
Israel remains safer but not safe from Iranian threats.

> israel is safer, if not safe, in a more dangerous world
## Key takeaway

Netanyahu's post-October 7 military strategy made Israel safer from Hamas but not safe from Iran.
