Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel was a clear intelligence failure, but for whom and in what ways? Counterbalance co-hosts Mike Doran and Peter Rough are joined by 91ÆÞÓÑ colleague Ezra Cohen, who, fresh off a trip to Israel, provides his view on what led to the failure of intelligence we now know as October 7. A former Pentagon official, Ezra also outlines how each US administration sets intelligence priorities for the entire intelligence community and how the Biden administration may have changed course from its predecessor’s priorities.
