Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, the highest-ranking Israeli military official, is resigning in March due to his role in the failure to prevent Hamas's surprise attack on October 7, 2023. This attack resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 Israelis, mostly civilians, and the abduction of 250 others, leading to a war in the Gaza Strip.

1. Now, it is time for them to take responsibility and resign – the prime minister and his entire catastrophic government.

1. On the morning of October 7, under my command, the IDF failed in its mission to protect the citizens of Israel.
2. The State of Israel paid a heavy and painful price in lives lost, in those taken hostage, in the wounded – both physically and mentally.
3. Alongside continuing security efforts, returning the hostages and caring for Israeli evacuees, the Prime Minister and the political echelon must fulfill their responsibility to establish a state investigation committee and lead the State of Israel to elections so that a government can be established that will regain the public's trust.

1. Immediately after Oct. 7, Netanyahu launched a long-term strategy to replace the top military echelon, to make sure the official story is that it is a military failure and not a political one.
