  • MK Dan Illouz: October 7 could've been prevented with stronger right-wing policies

    MK Dan Illouz: October 7 could've been prevented with stronger right-wing policies
    Feb 17 2026
    Likud MK Dan Illouz believes October 7 could have been prevented if Israel had adhered more strictly to right-wing principles over the past decades, citing decisions like the Oslo Accords, Gaza disengagement, and the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange as critical missteps.

    "If right-wing values had been applied over the decades 100% the way they should have been applied, then we wouldn't have gotten to October 7," Illouz said.

    Edited and produced by Shifra Jacobs and Gadi Zaig.
