Netanyahu shared that the decision to eliminate Nasrallah was made while he was flying to the U.S., after receiving intelligence that Nasrallah would likely leave the place he was staying within the next couple days, and that Israeli intelligence did not know where he would move to.Netanyahu also affirmed that as with the beeper operation, he made the decision not to inform the United States.In fact, during his remarks, Netanyahu made several subtle attacks on the former Biden administration, insinuating that Israel did not share certain operational plans with the U.S. due to fears that information about the operations would be leaked.Describing the cabinet discussion about the pagers, he related that some people said Israel should notify the Americans."I don't read the New York Times that often, but give them the advance?" Netanyahu asked, implying that the Biden administration would have leaked the plans to the press beforehand, giving Hezbollah advance warning. Throughout 2024, there were several accusations by members of Netanyahu's cabinet that Biden's team was leaking crucial intelligence to the press in an attempt to head off unwanted Israeli military or security operations....Finally, Netanyahu also said that Israel only notified the U.S. of the strike on Hassan Nasrallah when the Israeli jets were already en route to the target, and any chance of leaking the information would be too late.
