IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi says that in “these days of division” over the judicial overhaul, the Israel Defense Forces “must be a unifying factor.”
Answering soldiers’ questions as part of an event for Israel’s 75th Independence Day, Halevi says “the moment we are in uniform, we leave the disagreement aside.”
The military protects the country so that “disagreements can occur without our enemies interfering,” he adds.
