Former Israeli minister says divisions among Israeli public caused 7 October attack

Former Public Diplomacy Minister Galit Distal Atbaryan said in an interview on Israel's Channel 13 News that rifts created in Israeli society over the past year, which she says she was part of, is one of the reasons behind the 7 October attack.

"I was among those people who caused the country to weaken. I created rifts, division and tension, and that tension resulted in weakness. This weakness in many ways led to the massacre," she said.

Distal Atbaryan resigned from her position on 13 October.
