houses, they do not recognize their areas from the hall to the stores. these attacks are taking place also was had a city and are on the road, making it very dangerous for them to commute from one place to another. the 1st seniors really official has resigned over how mazda is october attack. the military intelligence chief took responsibility for major security failures. message does extend during israel's war on gaza. and could it be the 1st step towards accountability? this is inside storage, the hello and welcome to the program. i'm how much enjoy them more than 6 months after how much carried out and ambitious multi pronged defensive on southern israel. the highest ranking is really government official has step down in his resignation

letter. major general rule and highly noted that authority comes with the responsibility and admitted the military intelligence director. it under his command, had failed to warn of the october 7th attack. it comes as public outrage against proceed is really government and military failures. gains momentum will delve into the ramifications of hell. leave his departure and examine the demands for accountability with our panel in a moment. but 1st, this report from actual same of which a major shake up at the highest level of is really military intelligence. major general, a higher, unhealthy by his step down more than 6 months up to the surprise effect by how most fighters on the southern israel that killed 1139 people. his resignation letter states. the intelligence director at under my command did not fulfill its task. i have carried that black day with me ever since. it's holly, i had already taken full responsibility publicly and the days after the offensive,

but stayed on due to the ongoing war and gaza. now he's become the 1st senior is rarely official to resign over the lapse in security reports suggest up to a year before the october 7th attack. israel had received intelligence that how most was preparing for an offensive in the days leading up to it both elyse and his really military intelligence noted, unusual activity in gaza. but those warnings were not heated. and this really military was taken by surprise leading to a delayed response, probably by his call for the establishment of a state committee to fully investigate the failings that led to the unprecedented assault. his resignation has increased the pressure of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who has resist the calls, the step down. there is one line that was the direction is directed to uh, the prime minister. he says, oh, so writing comes weighs responsibility. and now is the highest authority.

and he never took responsibility. so actually, mr. holly wanted to set kind of a personal message to nick anyhow. uh, to tell him if i can do it. you also should do it with hell. leave us departure. the focus now turns to how israel's, the military and political leadership will address the growing public demand for accountability excellence. i much alger 0 for insights story. all right, let's go ahead and bring in our panel in london. daniel levy is the president of us middle east project. he advised the who'd brock when he served this is really prime minister in sydney, australia. anthony lowenstein is the author of the recently published book, the palestine laboratory, a global investigation into how israel's occupation has provided a testing ground for weapons and technology exported globally. and until we get in

levy is a column this for the hearts newspaper and the author of the punishment of gaza. a book about the development of the israeli policy that led to the 2009 invasion of the gaza strip. a warm welcome to you all, and thanks so much for joining us today on inside story. daniel, let me start with you today. so military intelligence chief, our own, how leave it has become the 1st senior is really official to resign over failures to prevent the october 7th attack. i'm curious about the timing why step down now and will this set the stage for more resignations? i cannot speak to that question of timing bearer room is regarding one of these deputies having to have flat full health issues which may have actually delayed. i leave is a departure there is certainly speculation that has been for some time that some of the security military chiefs who have very on the, on the stage of their intention,

was that they would not continue uh, off to the and all the small i think it's clear that nothing. yeah, he's looking at a long war forever. will that? um they would step down. i think for some this was intended to build pressure on the prime minister. it may be the some now feel that there is no pressure on the prime minister, and this is a way of trying to generate that. of course, there's no serious undertaking of a commission of inquiry, but i think one can get lost in those granular details. and missed the big picture, which is good, whether it's inside the military or the political cloth. the ability to seriously reflect on not just what happened on that day. and this is the crucial thing you've done to vote because he's narrow, lead on this idea that there was an intelligent stadium and it almost up to the essence of every who is a role with the way this is looked at. but the intel chief has gone fast because

the problem isn't one of intel and not narrow security military sense. the problem is intelligence in terms of bolt was if you looked it up in a dictionary, intelligence being intelligent, not being stupid. and the idea that you could keep the palestinians in the situation without rights, without enfranchisement, without freedom to congress, the patient under defaulted, reggie. this would deliver security. that sort of question of whether the intel flow is working properly. that's a basic stupidity. the will never hold everybody i saw you are reacting to what daniel was saying there's, i want to let you jump in, but i also want to ask you what message does this send while the war on guys a continues? what do i say to these riley public who are increasingly dissolution and makes a lot not very strong. i mean, as daniel riley says, if i look through the intelligence in a very narrow sense, then i'll type a 7 was a contest of interior element in the broader sense. this was 5 bigger than that.

and what i mean by that is that for many, many, many of these riley public, this is not just a government and intelligence. finally, a, my name is riley, probably with sold, convinced i would say who links into believing that jobs and it's 2300000 of them, for the case indifferent lane without any kind of serious response. and a long, the guy's a israel fence, there has been huge amounts of these riley companies that have spending lots of money, billions and billions of dollars something i looked at in my book, trying to protect israel from guidance, which clearly failed miserably. and it's interesting to know many of those companies that failed so miserably on that day. they technology failed. the site failed us selling and testing weapons in gallons, as we speak to foreign bias, smelling woods and intelligence chief cook, chase can leave cameras on other people and i feel like none of that will change

the fact to the end of this war. whenever that happens, easier i will be less safe than it was on october. the 6th gideon in he'll leave it as resignation letter. he wrote that authority comes with the responsibility and that's being interpreted by many and israel as a suggestion that it may be time for prime minister netanyahu that he go ahead and resign. do you believe that her leave a was intending to send that signal, that it's time for announcing the yahoo to face accountability. and it might very be a little wise what a body to put a guy with 0 to friends and a 45 minutes, which but this, against that the o. but you know, how do you guys know the position to this? what to do? i know surprise that users i need extra price users. i didn't, you only know because you couldn't function ever since the center software. ok. the function ever since there was a listen to he and he from what they said to him, what kind of responsibility to use it to listen to such

a failure. so how do i forget the always on the juniors must go in the same time? i totally agree drawn to me and i'm here. namely this, we have the 7, this is just the small failure. this doesn't mean that people are responsible for this. better to go way. the big failure is still on the touch screen is ryan, is a big move, drawing any less from the sevens. he's a student believe so the by the more intensively in the old believes that we can continue with their probation. continue was about, i think we can live on or sold, or you're not sold forever. gideon, let me just follow up with you and ask you about the fact that i believe also called for the establishment of a state committee to fully investigate the failings that led to the assault on october 7th. is that something we're going to see happen at any point soon? even if lucy,

why muds don't expect too much to see those investigations coming to sydney's way posted for the last 4 months. a year is a duty. no one remembers what was the cause of their establishment and then the hour was vague and never voltage issue at the expense of the $10.00 baby room and it always thinks any credit the committee will think there's a committee. but everyone speaks about the investigation committee means to postpone every seeing an investigation with the concluded me, truthfully. yes by. there's no reason to investigate. just think so. still clear. there was no on the, on the 7th there was no, we did a chance on the 7th. is there any hope to find jobs? i was think of the case. we don't have any solution in any intention to put that into daniel, i can see you reacting as well to get in this thing there. so i'm going to give you the chance to go and jump in as well. go ahead. well. ready as enjoy,

if that's the right, what i'm listening to get on. this is the point. i don't think people should have expectations from what an investigation within that structure within that system can come up with. because the questions will not be the questions that need to be off. yes, they'll be things about the material that was asked on taken seriously. but it's that granular detail which is the least important lesson to learn because the questions that one could almost be guaranteed will not be on the table. all the questions of what are the root cause is, how do we treat the palestinians? i'm here i, you know, i think sometimes we get b, b, i test. we may be so much about nothing. yahoo, it's a system. it's just the demick strong violence thing. the, the political boss and the military. oh cool. cool it up it. when, when you do hear people say, well there's going to be diplomacy fine. that's right. but if the diplomacy on

alpha is nothing more than the how one manages the system of occupation and a politic then that's not actually, you know, trying to do. so the question won't be on the table of whether it is relevant, the process of having security collaboration with the palestinian authority in the west bank, but has no credibility with its people of trying to blockade laws in. definitely, because you think perhaps you can domesticate almost of a regional set of relations, which are all built on. i would argue it costs loops, and so you know what, what is, what are these normalization abraham record agreements? donald is around in practice school. they've told these really is this idea a whole side the things are ok. if we make peace with some people in the gulf, we can continue to keep the palestinians in this condition. so the crucial questions that need to be off will not be optimal. anthony said earlier is really important because one of the signals, the sense is the, the so called stop nation,

the high tech power press being exposed forwards, vulnerabilities it needs by use of the world to see based on the world is seeing that it's really not managing a symmetric work that effectively because of boss, i would argue some of the off the resistance axis actors are showing that you can turn the power piece round only itself. because when israel responds in the security disproportionate way, it is in fact, on the mining its own equities, whether they be legal, moral to terence, etc. so we have to mean, if we can pick up on what daniel was saying there, and i saw you not in your head responding to some of what he was saying there. if there is the system in place, what happens in the event that there are more resignations? let's say at some point, but nothing. yeah. whose political career comes to an end. many people in israel are calling for him to resign. if we get to a scenario whereby that actually happens or if there are new elections,

what happens there after? i wish i could say the outcome will be very different. nits in yahoo on con paulding would probably lose an election. buddy's unlikely successor benny gans is virtually 9 different on gaza, on the occupation on any accountability just this week in the us as a now as possible sanctions on the particularly extreme element of the idea of, of commit issues. crimes in the west bank. many dances. response was equal outraged, along with mentioned yahoo! in other words, if we expected to be radical change when a different prime minister comes into all of us will be disappointed. and this guy is, i think, to the broad a point that accountability. we've seen these ro, if a decades has barely exist another woods, there's barely been any soldiers, little line generals actually held to account for crimes committed in the west bank . oh god. so the only way i would argue this will really ever change. and i would argue similarly with the us, with this behavior in iraq and afghanistan in the last 20 years. so he is our

international trials of soldiers for generals of politicians before international course. the high for example, that shows a will be a cost, a price for committing crimes in gaza or the west bank and its west saying finally that we can investigate to israel. can investigate the statements of october as much as a wants. how about what's happening in the last 6 months of segments? i want to try, but in my view was a crime. but what's been happening in the last 6 months, 354550000 potential palestinians killed the vast majority of the civilians. there will be no investigation within these ro, for those palestinians who have been killed. and we've had accountability and international for him because nothing is i've been getting has been riding this leg mostly for years. but especially since october 7. he's riley culture within the public. forget about the military of intelligence. there's a beloved lost,

and we've on accountability globally. sadly, this will not change. get in, you heard nancy, they're talking about the fact that you've written extensively about what you call a blood last in is really society. and that's something that i wanted to ask you specifically about. it's been a theme and a lot of your writing, one of your more recent columns. you wrote that it's doubtful. there has ever been so much thirst for blood and war in israel. and i'm curious to get your thoughts about how at this particular moment when there is a lot of condemnation of nets and yahoo and polling suggests that he's at an all time low when it comes to credibility, trust from the public popularity. how much is the fact that what you're calling this blood less existing is really society? how much is that? helping him and his cohorts and government unfortunately takes him at all because the symptoms of october took these ladies out of the closet or change their minds.

but in any case, after the 7th of october, these really speak to the ever seeing is that just to make that is or has the right to do what every tons know we're getting, it's knowing finish. i don't know, don't quite a do not see. both of these are the speed that goes up is the spanish man. and most of these ladies think that these are didn't cost any line by cheating spell by the civilians. now and the video is just f, i figured in all these processes, but it's not only about the video. i write, i oversee to tag, you need to watch the video, say that any guns would not be any any better. and no one else a potential candidate, some use or we'd be any better owner because of the simple reason that there is quite a concern. so if it is for any society, it's these orders describe disparity defined the yes, they are very defined, usable, my know,

and their families very united much well knighted about the basic family continue with the patient going to the swell. always very simple. the score human up to 6 months of pay this. so supposing the will continue, the patient opinions often gets waterways, big, big rates, if any forwarding is of support or really one opinion which stays actual. so after the civil opinion which say b, m, the right to do whatever we want and nobody to tell us what to do. daniel, i've spent quite a bit of time over the course of the past year, reporting from israel before october 7th. i was reporting on the traditional overhaul protest where you saw a lot of anger directed toward the netanyahu government plan to try to overall the judiciary. now, after october 7th, there have been these protests that have been increasing. first. it was the family

of captives that are being held in gaza. now there are more explicit anti government demonstrations and i'm curious to get your thoughts about if you think that these different protest movement will co, a less against around sort of an overall angered towards nothing. yahoo and, and how that impacts him specifically at a time when his popularity is an all time low. when people are so angry at him when there are government officials that are saying they're taking responsibility for the intelligence failure that led to october 7th. but nothing. yeah, who is continued to say essentially he's not taking responsibility that he'll answer tough questions, but it'll be later. well mom and i, i followed some of that reporting that you on the truck. yes, the protest have increased in intensity in recent weeks,

somewhat less since the so many escalation with the wrong. there was anger over the extent to which nothing yahoo was d, prioritize the hostage issue. there was the return to some of that division that we saw prior to october 7th. and it may well be nothing y'all who is in trouble. politically. the polling is not looking good for him, but there is no election uh on the horizon. and this is one of the reasons why nothing. yahoo is a particularly dangerous leader at the moment beyond what we have gotten used to because it seems that he's own political future is tied in to the continuing of the war. but i think it's a, it's really crucial to not lose sight of what's being mentioned, which is that if you zoom about the question of nothing, yahoo is a very effective politician. he's very effective. we generally internationally. we don't take that away from him a but the bottom off that he is set out is, is really quite conceptual and you know, want those back to,

to october 7th. and absolutely, that was a violation of international law, proceeded by his rules, violations continued off to which the, one of the things that made that possible that makes the failings possible is if you do schuman nice, the other side, if you hold them inside the content, then that puts you on the power to the kind of hubris which i think led to these by using the, in the, in what happened. and, you know, the fact that his route is at the international court of justice supposedly violating the genocide convention. the fact could you in special rep who can write a report, francesco benet's, be in that to me of the genocide shows how much deeper than nothing you on this goes the full labor leader who is the president to be as well. isaac pallets, so he's the 1st pass and the i c. j quoted in terms of insight into genocide. and i believe because a good question that hangs in the at is whether it's nothing yacht will not oh,

does want to envisage possible change a possible different dynamic where we know sitting is saying it's not just nothing . yeah. it's not just god's, it's the most the entirety of design is political class. so i think there's a problem here in terms of the project, in terms of what design isn't going to do, what's written on the team and deliver security for jewish. he's right, he's good, he's failed to do that is always the did of a devastation of about think it was up again to change. that's where one gets into the question of impunity. because unless he's real cost benefit, calculation looks different unless he's released held accountable. i'm not saying that would force he's raised to change, but it means that he's ready stop loss. the questions of these are worth it to treat the palestinians like the beast. if the authors you can get away with anything, then the question to be is what if it's worth? it doesn't even get aust gideon, i saw you react into what daniel was saying there looks like you wanted to jump in . please go ahead. you know, we, we are only agreeing to more or less on the point that a focusing on

a 10 year old is easily state. i let me know or years when the he's already brought this, this devil to searching and demonstrating my best friends. they are demonstrating getting something, you know, this is certainly not, this is josh, but it's not the point that i'm send you more than these pay attention to. the professor is right now there is protesting against the war. no, there is protesting against the mesquite ingles does the dental studies professor goods as the patient of which the kidding children that i need to pay for that. there are few jesus. oh that is mentions is only about getting the engaging results . nathan, you know, it is very easy to see, not been, you know, as, as the big say 30, which is a, by the ways. but hey, what are you suggesting instead of the why you're suggesting, instead of being do you really focus the core of the problem or the phone,

your service, you're going to drive by pointing out that the video just gets the theme is, will be turned back to become the 3rd guy so that the joint about so by answers guys, that's not the point. yeah, daniel, i mean get, he is making a good point there. the fact is that in poll after poll in israel, it's reflected that while most is re lease, want to see and that's in yahoo go, most of them are also still supporting the war effort. correct. and i think that came out to cook. it's a convenient story that some in the west, some of these roles enable us in the us are telling themselves, so truck, hazel, the, the democrat lead and the senate gives the speech considered paul breaking. but it really boils down to, if it were me, there was no, not on yahoo. things would be okay. the bind administration sometimes seems to, to, to, and code this kind of thing. it's a really convenient,

really mistaken way to look at this. it's an easy place to go, because no one wants to actually challenge the causes of based on unless you do, you're not going to get any way. you know nothing. yahoo success. so maybe better, maybe one of us, but it's just a big one that has to address that systemic problem. anthony, if we're talking about systemic issues within israel and the is really government, one of the questions that continues to be asked in the wake of this resignation is, is this a 1st step towards account ability in israel? but if you're talking about accountability that looks different, depending on who you're asking, right them, you have account ability and is real towards the as rarely people with regards to the failures that lead to the october 7th attack. but then you have what many in the international community are calling for, which is accountability for atrocities committed in gaza? isn't that right in the show? and essentially use riley's but unwilling and incapable of doing so within its own

legal system. not showing that for years and years, and i think the question that we're talking about who really goes to a more essential one for these are all, is an interesting piece last week. and then your times written by benny morris, the right wing is probably historical. i don't agree with on pretty much anything, but he said something very interesting with him that he supported going into a rough friend, all these terrible things. but he said something, and i'm paraphrasing, here was the effect of, it's really, you know, people that it's, it is the most unsafe place in the will to be jewish, these days, easiest route. now what does that tell you about these rail? 75 years or so after it's best that coal sandy semitism is real and some places in the world, undeniably it's a growing problem. but if i circled respected again, somebody don't really agree with. but someone who is a member of these really establishment argues and says that point almost as a throwaway line. this goes 5 days and it's in yahoo will frankly,

any political leader in his role. this goes to next essential question of israel's feature. that the whole circle, dream design is ms. daniel said was to provide safety for jews and clearly, and i would argue it's almost impossible to argue against this. it is not safe for jews now, and i would argue long before october 7 and certainly in the last 6 months, even got more on safe figures within his role. and i would argue in the global dice for this is the problem, israel sizes. and with that international pressure, which i think will start to build the u. s. in london, and not going to be pushing problems in di guys. but southern states will then sanctions and china employees riley sold is on trial. and the companies that will happen, or at least attempts move that to happen. and this is where the, the game can change. all right, well, we have run out of time, so we're going to have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much to our guests. daniel levy anthony lowenstein and getting and leaving hello and thank you
