Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, has indicated his intention to resign following the completion of an investigation into the military's response to the October 7 Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel. The attack resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 people. Halevi has stated that he will remain in his position until the military's internal inquiry is finalized. Reports suggest that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz are urging Halevi to step down within the next three months due to the perceived failures in preventing the attack.
