\u201cThere is a yearning for the prime minister to say, \u2018I’m responsible … I’m responsible for this failure. We’re going to make this right.\u2019 That’s what people didn’t hear.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Israeli entrepreneur Amit Bendov considers his country\u2019s commitment to democracy and tolerance of dissent as essential ingredients for innovation. That\u2019s why, earlier this year, he was critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s controversial judicial overhaul.<\/p>\n

Now, in the aftermath of the devastating Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas militants on Israeli civilians\u2014what Bendov describes as \u201cthe worst week that we\u2019ve experienced since the Holocaust\u201d\u2014priorities have shifted. Bendov says protesters have rallied around Netanyahu and Israel\u2019s government in light of the horrific attacks and the country has come together to fight back.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who were labeled as \u2018scum of the earth\u2019 or as \u2018anarchists\u2019 are now volunteering, they’re the first to fight, the first to volunteer,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s like the citizens are taking actions into their hands where the government is leaving a lot of gaps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bendov argues that concerns about the government have not gone away. First and foremost is figuring out the \u201cmajor military failure to one of the most technologically advanced militaries in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adds Bendov: \u201cThere is a yearning for the prime minister to say, \u2018I’m responsible … I’m responsible for this failure. We’re going to make this right. That’s what people didn’t hear.\u201d<\/p>\n
