Senior Shin Bet officials have reportedly threatened to resign if Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu proceeds with the appointment of IDF Maj. Gen. David Zini as the agency’s next director, according to a report by the Kan public broadcaster. In off-the-record conversations over the weekend, Shin Bet field coordinators responsible for the Jerusalem and West Bank sectors blasted Zini’s nomination as politically driven. The officials reportedly raised concerns over what they described as Zini’s “messianic” worldview — warning that his ideological leanings may erode the agency’s nonpartisan identity. No formal resignations have been filed as of yet, and the Shin Bet declined public comment on the matter.

Liri Albag, an Israeli survivor of Hamas captivity, was unexpectedly detained for questioning on Thursday upon landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport, after U.S. passport control flagged her as still being held hostage, according to a report aired by Israel’s Channel 12. Albag, who arrived in New York with friends for a much-needed vacation, was stopped by border officials who suspected she may have been an impostor. The reason: official systems still listed her as being in captivity. According to her father, Eli Albag, who was also traveling abroad at the time, the ordeal began when his daughter’s phone was confiscated, and she was allowed a single call. “She called me, and then her mother, Shira, who immediately contacted the IDF and other authorities,” he told Channel 12.

During a visit to Gaza on Sunday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir emphasized that Israel’s military campaign against Hamas would not drag on indefinitely.
“We are intensifying our activity in accordance with the orderly plan. Hamas is under tremendous pressure; it has lost most of its assets and its command and control,” Zamir said while touring Khan Younis in southern Gaza with Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor.
Zamir made it clear that the military would deploy every available resource to secure the release of the hostages and bring about the downfall of Hamas. “We will activate all of our tools so that we can return the hostages home, defeat Hamas, and dismantle its rule,” he stated, according to a release from the IDF.
