Maj. Gen. Amir Baram, former commander of the military’s Northern Command, has been named as the next deputy chief of staff.
Baram will enter the role when the current deputy, Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi, becomes chief of the Israel Defense Forces.
The decision to appoint Baram was made by Defense Minister Benny Gantz, following recommendations made by Halevi and by outgoing military chief Aviv Kohavi.
