Dr. Mordechai Kedar, a veteran Middle East scholar and former IDF Intelligence officer, has responded to reports that the IDF Intelligence Directorate barred his participation in a program to train Haredi intelligence researchers. In his response, he reiterated conspiracy theories regarding the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and criticized current Military Intelligence chiefs, according to journalist Moriah Asraf (N13 / Army Radio) who published his statement. Kedar claimed the decision stems from "remnants of the concept" that led to October 7, 2023, and noted his extensive military and academic background in intelligence.
