Tibon says he's never been a political man. But he calls what he witnessed that day a "colossal breakdown" of the Israeli security apparatus to which he devoted his career. And there's one person he blames.
"Benjamin Netanyahu cannot stay even one more day on the chair of the prime minister," Tibon says. "He is a failure and he must go."
A majority of Israelis want Netanyahu to go
In Israel, grief and anger are raw after Hamas militants stormed into parts of the country on Oct. 7, killing about 1,200 people, according to the Israeli Foreign Ministry, and kidnapping more than 240.
A growing number of Israelis are blaming their own prime minister for security lapses that may have made the country more vulnerable.
On Nov. 7, a leading pro-Netanyahu newspaper reversed its stance and ran an editorial calling for his ouster after the war.
Polls taken last month show Netanyahu would lose if elections were held now.

He dropped the ball, no doubt about it.
It was an intelligence/military/administration failure that, IMO lies on Netanyahu head.
He should go.
He's likely to see the destruction of Hamas through to the end.
Easier said than done.
