Tel Aviv, April 22 (RHC)-- Israel’s chief of military intelligence, Major General Aharon Haliva, has resigned. Haliva is the first senior Israeli official to resign over Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel.
In his resignation letter, Haliva wrote: “The intelligence directorate under my command did not live up to the task we were entrusted with.” He also called for a state commission to investigate intelligence failures prior to October 7th.
Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid praised Haliva’s decision to resign and called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to follow suit.
