In this episode of the Mael Time podcast, Daniel Mael interviews Yaakov Katz, discussing the events surrounding the October 7th attack by Hamas and the subsequent failures of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Katz, a former editor in chief of the Jerusalem Post, shares insights from his book 'While Israel Slept,' exploring the chaos during the attack, the lack of accountability within the military and political leadership, and the need for a commission of inquiry to address these issues. The discussion also touches on the role of intelligence, the impact of military censorship on journalism, and the importance of transparency in military appointments.
