Former IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi faced backlash from bereaved families after his first public appearance since leaving his post. Halevi spoke at a prestigious conference in New York, analyzing the intelligence and command failures that led to the October 7th attack. The warm reception he received abroad sparked anger and pain among families who lost loved ones.
He highlighted the stark contrast between the honor Halevi received in New York and the ongoing suffering in the Gaza envelope communities.
He likened the situation to inviting a goalkeeper who conceded 1,200 goals to explain how to keep a clean net at a FIFA conference.
He stressed that while civilians are allowed to err, the military, under Halevi's command, should not have been caught off guard due to "arrogance and hubris."
He attributed the failures to a collective blindness, exacerbated by Halevi, former head of Military Intelligence Aharon Haliva, and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar.
