Why was a pilot previously grounded due to concerns about his radical views able to fly to Israel repeatedly—and who was supposed to vet him anyway?
Military analyst David Gendelman examines Israel's aviation security system and comes to an unpleasant conclusion: responsibility has been distributed among the Ministry of Transportation, the Shin Bet, the Mossad, and other agencies in such a way that the potential threat has ended up "falling between the stools." Yet the problem itself was warned about in advance: the Ministry of Transportation simply lacks the intelligence capabilities to fully vet foreign pilots.
From the FlyDubai attack, the conversation turns to another systemic failure—October 7. Gendelman comments on the publication of the name of former Gaza Division intelligence chief Aryeh Amidror and warns against attempts to make him the primary culprit of the disaster. According to him, the problem is much more serious: virtually the entire intelligence hierarchy shared the same flawed concept.
Gendelman compares October 7th to the failure before the 1973 Yom Kippur War: in both cases, intelligence not only failed to detect the signals, but interpreted them based on the preconceived notion that war was unprofitable for the enemy.
Has the army learned any lessons over the past three years? Gendelman outlines two key lessons: Israel needs a larger, more prepared army, and intelligence must stop deciding for the enemy what is beneficial and what it "won't" do.
