Tonight, the Passover Seder will be different and as we sit down to recall the liberation of the Jews from Egypt, we need to keep the 133 hostages - far away from liberation and redemption - at the top of our minds. Today on NewsNation with Markie Martin.

The resignation of Military Intelligence chief Aharon Haliva was long overdue. He failed ahead of Oct. 7 and gave a faulty intelligence assessment to the cabinet ahead of the Damascus strike.

He should have resigned on Oct. 8 but because of the lack of a culture of

.Amir Bohbot אמיר בוחבוט reporting that Military Intelligence chief Aharon Haliva has resigned and will leave his role in coming weeks. After the failures of Oct. 7 and the misread of the Iranian response to the Damascus strike all that is left to say is: It’s about time.

The latest round between Israel & Iran might have ended in success for Israel, but the overall picture is not net positive. 

The past week marks a stark departure from previous Iranian policy, and it is one that Israel will need to keep in mind going forward.

Traditionally,

A new dimension of any potential conflict needs to be taken into consideration - the conflict with Iran is no longer in the shadows.

The new US military aid is part of a complex US diplomatic plan - supporting Israeli security while expressing reservations with how money and weapons will be used. More important is that the passing of the bill comes at a crucial time for Israel as the IDF readies for an

Caught up with my old friend Dominic Waghorn in Jerusalem to talk about Iran, a topic we used to speak a lot about when he was stationed here as Sky News' Jerusalem correspondent more than 10 years ago.

With the Iran round seemingly mostly behind us, the focus can now return to the more immediate and pressing - finishing off the remaining Hamas battalions in Gaza and working to release the 133 hostages who remain in Hamas captivity.

While there have been disagreements in the

Nice talking to The Sun about the early morning Israeli attack in Isfahan, the continued standoff with Iran, and what Israel's silence and Iran's downplaying of the attack all mean.

It’s been a few hours since the attack against Iran & for now it seems both sides have decided to call it a day. Israel is staying quiet - not revealing what was attacked - & Iran is playing the attack down, indicating it might not be responding.

This may be the first time that Israel has confronted the Russian S-300 air defense system in battle. If so, it either didn’t work, got destroyed, or the Iranian controllers didn’t manage to use it.

A sign to Khamenei that Israel’s defense (and offense) worked better than his.

While only time will tell what happens next and this is still the initial hours after the Israeli strike, based on Iran’s response so far the ayatollahs seem to want to contain this round. That might explain why they’re downplaying the significance of the attack and claiming

And that is part of the way you create deterrence.

It’ll take some time for the fog to clear especially as Israel maintains an official policy of silence.

First, while Isfahan has a significant nuclear complex - with research reactors from China and a fuel production plant - it is also home to important military bases.
Now,

What was actually reckless and raised the stakes of war was the JCPOA that emboldened Iran, gave it a feeling of strength and made it believe it could get away with launching hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel without retribution.

When protesters equate the NYPD with the KKK, I have to ask what poison is being infused by Columbia into the veins of its students?

It's time to recognize something basic: Israel today is the most attacked state in the world - Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen, militias in Syria & now directly from Iran. This is not normal and the world seems to not care.

There is a thread connecting the mistakes the Israel Defense Forces's Military Intelligence (Aman in Hebrew) made ahead of the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7 and the killing of IRGC Gen. Zahedi in Damascus and it should have all of us concerned about Maj.-Gen. Aharon Haliva's ability to continue
