And he asked me, he's like, why do you think this is happening?
And I remember distinctly looking at him and saying, I don't know.
Because after 2021 or 2022, I believe, Bennett, Naftali Bennett, lifted the permit, what do you call it, the permit ceiling as it were, like the quota.
It's like some 20, 22,000 Gazans received permits to come to Israel after years of them not having any.
Um, and so usually they would do these sorts of antics to get something.

And so he, when we said goodbye that day, I remember I'll never forget this.
He looked at me and he said, you know, all right, I think you're a really smart guy.

I think you're a bit apocalyptic.
I looked at him and I said, Tom, I think you've spent a little too much time with the Israelis.
And so if I could have come to those conclusions with the limited amount of information I had, I'm sure there were many people within the intelligence establishment that had some idea.
Do I think that Bibi allowed 3,000 or 2,000 Hamas militants to enter the country and kill people?
I'm a little doubtful.
But I don't know.
I think it's known... What do you mean by how?
I think physically speaking, people know how they got in.
I mean, the border was largely... I mean, people were in their bunks sleeping.
It was also a Jewish holiday.
There was no increased level of alertness as far as I've heard.
