Major General Aharon Haliva’s resignation letter in full
Below we have the resignation letter of Major General Aharon Haliva. The head of Israel’s military intelligence announced he was stepping down earlier this morning.
“Over 38 years ago, I entered the gates of the Jewish Community and enlisted in the army. I went through stations and many positions on the fighting front and I always did, as much as I could, to serve the people of Israel,” he wrote.
“Throughout my positions, I knew that along with authority there was also a heavy responsibility: for the task, for the people, for success and failure.
“On Saturday 7 October 2023, Hamas carried out a murderous surprise attack against the state of Israel, whose consequences are difficult and painful.
“The intelligence division under my command did not live up to the task we were entrusted with. I carry that black day with me ever since, day after day, night after night. I will carry the pain with me forever.
“Since the war broke out, the women and men of the army have been working, regularly and in reserve, together to achieve the goals of war. The excellent people, in all ranks and positions, did and are doing as much as possible, and many times even beyond that, for the scrutiny of the State of Israel and its future. I am proud of them and I appreciate them immensely.
“At the beginning of the war, I expressed my desire to accept responsibility and finish my duties. Now, after more than six months, and at the same time as the investigations begin, I would like to end my position.
“Until the end of my shift, I will do everything for the defeat of Hamas and those who want to harm us and the work for the return of the captives and the missing to their homes and land.”
