MK Tally Gotliv made waves in Israel on Monday when she asserted that the “foreign actor” named in the classified document, whose identity was redacted, was none other than the head of Egyptian intelligence.
This explosive allegation directly ties Egypt’s top intelligence official to the events of October 7 and sheds new light on the classified documents case rocking the country.
“They tried to claim that it’s some individual, but it turned out to be the head of Egyptian intelligence!” Gotlib stated during a heated hearing in the Knesset. “There’s no way that 5,000 terrorists can infiltrate into Israel; there was a glaring military breach here,” she added, suggesting that the Hamas invasion could not have happened without serious cooperation, possibly at the highest levels, from Egypt.
The leaked documents case centers on urgent intelligence about foreign involvement in the October 7 attack. Senior Military Intelligence officers, alarmed by Egypt’s suspected role in the attack and frustrated by the IDF leadership’s refusal to escalate the matter, passed the information to IDF Colonel Avi Rosenfeld, who shared it with Netanyahu’s aide, Eli Feldstein.
Rather than being praised for helping to protect their country, both were arrested. Feldstein now faces life in prison for bypassing military leadership to provide life-saving intelligence to the Prime Minister.
This latest revelation reinforces once again that Egypt, far from being the peaceful neighbor it’s often thought to be, has been undermining Israel’s security. As reported on Anash.org earlier this year, Egypt has violated the 1979 peace agreement through significant military buildups in Sinai, including advanced weaponry and increased troop numbers near Israel’s borders.
Additionally, Egypt has supported Hamas by enabling weapons smuggling and turning a blind eye to the massive construction of tunnels, directly contributing to the October 7 attacks on Israel.
These developments underscore the prophetic warnings of the Rebbe, who for decades cautioned that Egypt could not be trusted and that peace agreements were merely superficial. The Rebbe insisted the Egyptian regime had no genuine interest in peace, and today, those warnings ring louder than ever.
For years, Israel ignored these concerns, but the danger is now undeniable. As the Rebbe emphasized, Israel must rely on its own strength, defend its borders with determination, and make security decisions based solely on its national interest, not the demands of outside powers.
Though they surely may have been a part of it, why were the calls, contacts & pleading for help from those being savagely plundered completely ignored and unanswered for most of that horrendous day? Surely some messages and people got through to the military. Why and who commanded these pleas to be ignored? I don’t buy the MK’s story completely. Not believable!

Maybe it was an Arab sympathizer in a key position. Someone married to a so called Palestinian. And yes, there are a lot of goyim too, in the army.
When we say we need Malchus, it means more safety. Malchus also has a democratic side, it’s just done according to Torah.
Agree that the chances that the attack on 10/7 was a “surprise” are slim to none. Sadly, it appears that there was cooperation from “our side” r”l. To believe that an attack of such magnitude was not known in advance given the incredible intelligence of the IDF is highly illogical.
Reminds me of the “surprise attack” on Yom Kippur, as it is recorded in the history books. The Rebbe said that there were over 1000 communiques from spys/informers of the impending attack, however the government didn’t react for political reasons r”l. And that was back in 1973…
1. On the Responsibility of Israeli Leaders
In a letter to Israeli leaders, the Rebbe wrote:
“The responsibility of safeguarding Eretz Yisroel, and especially the Holy City of Yerushalayim, lies squarely with you, the leaders of the Jewish State. You are entrusted with the task of ensuring the security and welfare of the Jewish people in this Holy Land, and this is not a task that can be compromised by foreign pressures or political calculations.”
1967 Letter (Post-Six-Day War):
In this letter, the Rebbe wrote to Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol (and others) in the aftermath of the Six-Day War:
“It is now clearer than ever that the security of Eretz Yisroel and the Jewish people is ultimately in the hands of the leaders of Eretz Yisroel, and that the primary task of these leaders is to ensure the physical and spiritual safety of the Jewish people. The Jewish nation has been given this land by Hashem, and it is the sacred duty of those in charge to defend it with all their strength, as it is an act of both self-preservation and fulfillment of the Divine commandment.”
2. On the Importance of Security and Pikuach Nefesh:
The Rebbe frequently referenced the halachic concept of pikuach nefesh (the preservation of life) in relation to Israeli policy decisions. One famous quote from a 1967 sicha highlights this:
“If the leaders of Israel fail to defend the land and the people with all their might, this is not just a political failure; it is a failure in the most fundamental aspect of Jewish law—preserving life. Pikuach nefesh is the highest priority, and it is inconceivable that any concession that endangers Jewish lives could be justified.”
3. On the Dangers of Land Concessions:
In a famous letter written to the Israeli government in the 1990s during the Oslo Accords negotiations, the Rebbe expressed his concern about giving away land:
“The giving away of land in the Holy Land—no matter what the circumstances—will inevitably lead to the loss of life, both spiritually and physically. Any attempt to divide the Land of Israel is in direct contradiction to Torah teachings, and no one, no government, has the right to make such a decision.”
4. On Criticism of Israeli Government vs. External Critics:
In a series of talks during the 1980s, the Rebbe made it clear that while he had no qualms about criticizing Israeli leadership, he did not believe that external figures—like foreign leaders or presidents—should be the ones criticizing Israel’s policies:
“When others criticize Israel, especially foreign nations, it is often motivated by political interests or anti-Semitic sentiments. However, when the leaders of Israel fail in their duty to protect the Jewish people, it is a different matter. Their failure has consequences not just for the Jewish people but for the whole world, because the existence of Eretz Yisroel is a fundamental part of Hashem’s plan for the world.”
5. The Rebbe’s Call for Strong Leadership:
Finally, in a 1979 letter, the Rebbe wrote to a prominent Israeli political figure:
“The time has come for the leaders of Israel to lead with strength and resolve, not out of fear of outside forces or temporary political gain, but in line with the eternal values of the Torah. Only then will the Jewish people and the Eretz Yisroel be truly secure.”
Please send a copy of your letter and the Rebbe’s to Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Smotrich, and possibly a few more ASAP!
