On this episode of The Mael Time Podcast, Daniel Mael is joined by Mannie Fabian of The Times of Israel for the inside scoop on the October 7th investigations. Together they unpack how years of overlooked intelligence, structural weaknesses, and leadership misjudgments created the conditions for Hamas’s devastating attack. Drawing on Fabian’s reporting and Mael’s analysis, the conversation exposes what investigators uncovered, what remains unanswered, and why meaningful accountability is still so hard to find. This episode offers a clear, unflinching look at the systemic failures that led to one of the darkest days in Israel’s history.
