IDF intelligence analysis chief Brig.-Gen. Amit Saar will resign his post once the IDF publishes its probe of the October 7 intelligence failures, set for June, he announced on Wednesday at a closed military intelligence conference.
Saar is the most senior Israeli official to date to give an exact time frame for when he will resign, in a show of responsibility, although military sources said he was due to finish his role anyway over the summer.
Previously, a mid-level IDF intelligence major resigned.
At higher levels, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi, intelligence chief Maj.-Gen. Aharon Haliva, and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) head Ronen Bar all previously hinted several months ago that they would resign, but never gave a time frame and, since then, some have speculated that one or more of them may try to stay on given that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing to stay on.
The Senate Majority Leader was over the top in his call for Bibi to step aside and call for elections.
The optics are bad but not necessarily the message.
I truly believe that the Israeli Govt knew or was warned that the attack was coming but for some reason ignored them.
Additionally we all know that recovering the hostages is just a fig leaf to continue operations. I get that only four to six Hamas battalions remain and that they can totally destroy the warfighting part of the govt with a final push, but they're playing on heart strings and I despise that.
In the grand scheme of things a Brig Gen is low hanging fruit for a catastrophe of this size.
Higher ups have to face accountability.
