After leaked reports of a call between outgoing IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi and incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the IDF confirms the conversation took place and reaffirms its authority.
A statement from the IDF spokesperson says that Kohavi and Netanyahu “spoke in recent days,” due to reports about legislation touching on IDF authority.
“During the conversation it was agreed upon that decisions that are tied to the IDF will be made only after the IDF presents the consequences and significance of such decisions,” the IDF adds in the statement.
