Netanyau become prime minister in December 2022.
I suspect the cause of Israeli intelligence errors originated in the ten months before he took office, much like most of the errors of intelligence began under Clinton and before GWBush took office in January 2001 - nine months before 9/11. My one complaint about GWBush was he was too collegial to the intelligence officials he inherited and should have sacked them all as soon as he took office. But like his fAther he trusted too much in the deep state to be doing the right thing. That trust as not warranted.
IDF Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi appointed in January ‘23. The lack of discipline and training was so bad it had to have started long before then. Halevi succeeded Aviv Kochavi. Both are likely in big trouble.
But people overlook how obsessed other senior military and intelligence people have been with overthrowing the Netanyahu government, organizing ‘strikes’ and protests with inflammatory rhetoric instead of doing their jobs.
