The resignation of a top brass officer following the October 7 attack by Hamas has set the stage for potential fallout within the Israeli defense establishment. Local reports hint at possible resignations of IDF’s Chief of Staff, Gen. Halevi, and the Director of Shin Bet. Opposition voices are also demanding Prime Minister Netanyahu to follow Haliva’s lead and resign.
The resignation of this top brass officer is the first of such a high-ranking official since the attack. It remains to be seen whether other high-profile resignations will follow, and what impact this will have on the Israeli defense establishment and the country’s security.
