Quote of the Day
Nothing will happen if we leave people in their positions for a few more months. This will cause difficulty with the investigations. The General Staff had a total failure on October 7 and that brought upon us one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the State, and it did not just fail on October 7 but also was a total failure for years leading up to it with a conception that collapsed... This General Staff will not shape the future leadership of the IDF. It cannot appoint the generals that will fix the IDF. There is no faith in them for this. We support them now completely to win the war, and nothing else.
-- Finance Minister Betzalel Smotritch, regarding the possibility that the current Chief of Staff and his team will make a round of appointments now of new generals and commanders.
Smotritch makes a fair point. Too bad the journalist he was talking to was not bold enough to ask about the government part in this that led to the failures of October 7 with the conception that collapsed, and perhaps we should not let them make appointments either. We are trusting them now completely but only to win the war and that's it. The government made up of people who came up with and support the conception of Hamas being necessary and good (to undermine the PA), that Hamas is deterred, that Hamas is paid off and wont make trouble, is also not trusted to shape the government and make decisions as to how this will be fixed.

Excellent point. The IDF was implementing government policy. The political class is easily as guilty of failure as the military. Let's see if they are as willing to accept responsibility. I doubt it.
