The stories we heard and the answers we received are not exactly reassuring, to put it mildly." "We're basically crypto analysts," explains Master Sergeant Shmarit Reis, head of a department in the unit that tracks the money. "We deal with everything related to analyzing cryptographic wallets and identifying identities " who stands behind a cryptographic wallet? Who is the user?" This isn't just a technical question. Analyzing cryptographic wallets is a real intelligence tool. "We work on two main axes," Master Sergeant Reis continues. "One is serious crime and organized crime, and the other…...

1+ hour, 42+ min ago (376+ words) ISRAEL AT WAR - DAY 791 WASHINGTON " The US and Saudi Arabia had reached understandings on the eve of Hamas's October 7 attack regarding the concessions Israel would have to make vis--vis the Palestinians for Riyadh to normalize relations with Jerusalem, The Times of Israel can reveal. US President Joe Biden's administration and Saudi Arabia had crafted a document on the Palestinian component of the normalization deal during the summer of 2023. And its existence demonstrates that the sides were much further along in their negotiations than previously known. Blinken produced a document outlining his postwar plan, which ToI reveals and quotes from for the first time. There was still a gap between the US and Saudi Arabia regarding the timeline for Washington to recognize a Palestinian state, with Riyadh pushing for it to be done within a shorter period. However, enough consensus…...

1+ hour, 44+ min ago (247+ words) On Friday IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir sent commanders the summary of the work of the Turjeman Committee. "IDF took responsibility and investigated itself, but the event is not the IDF's alone, and it would not be appropriate to direct all the attention solely toward it," Zamir wrote. "To reach the truth and full national-level conclusions, an external and objective commission of inquiry must be established, as was done after the Yom Kippur War." "It is necessary to investigate the interface between the political echelon and the military echelon; the political and security concepts that preceded the war; the "conception'; the intelligence and the warnings presented to decision-makers; the oversight and monitoring processes; and the interaction and division of responsibility between the various bodies." "The committee did not address personal responsibility - the failure of October 7 is systemic…...

1+ hour, 46+ min ago (1695+ words) ISRAEL AT WAR - DAY 791 Israel was aware of where things stood and was comfortable enough with the modest steps discussed by Washington and Riyadh for the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem to draft a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia, according to the two former US officials and a current Israeli official. Blinken did end up making it to Israel that week, but under very different circumstances, as then-US president Joe Biden's administration rallied to support the Jewish state following the Hamas-led cross-border attack on October 7 that cut down some 1,200 people and saw 251 more taken hostage into Gaza. Documents uncovered by the IDF from Gaza during the war revealed that one of the motivations of Hamas's leaders in launching the attack was scuttling the US effort to broker that brewing normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia. To a great extent, the…...
