Defense Minister Israel Katz will today interview the three candidates for next IDF chief of staff, his office says.

They are Maj. Gen. Amir Baram, the current deputy chief of staff; Maj. Gen. (res.) Eyal Zamir, the Defense Ministry director-general; and Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai, the former Ground Forces chief.

Current IDF chief Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi has said he will be resigning on March 6 over the military failures relating to the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023.
