Netanyahu, America & the Road to War in Gaza / Failure at the Fence
Part 1: As the war in Gaza continues with devastating consequences, a major 90-minute documentary offers a sweeping examination of the critical moments and missteps that led to this crisis over the course of the past three decades, and the pivotal role of a central player: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Part 2: How Hamas was able to breach Israel’s vaunted security barrier on Oct. 7, 2023. This special collaboration stems from a Washington Post reconstruction, now deepened with additional on-the-ground reporting and riveting interviews that present a remarkable picture of how, as The Post reporters show, Hamas was planning the attack in plain sight, and Israel was blinded to its own vulnerabilities.
