Aharon Haliva, the head of Israel's Military Intelligence, resigned due to his role in failing to prevent the October 7 attack. This resignation is seen as the first in what may be a series of departures within the Israeli defense leadership, putting pressure on other officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The resignation has sparked discussions about the accountability of other high-ranking officials, with some analysts suggesting it could lead to further resignations from key positions such as the chief of staff and heads of other major military divisions. Commentators like Amos Harel and Alon Pinkas have criticized the lack of responsibility taken by other leaders, and Noa Shpigel noted that the IDF chief cannot appoint Haliva's successor.
