Following quarrel with IDF chief, Bennett asserts Eisenkot’s job is to execute cabinet’s decisions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEducation Minister Naftali Bennett asserts that the job of IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot is to execute the orders of the security cabinet.
“We have an excellent chief of staff,” he tells Hadashot news. “His job is to implement. He does not outline a policy.”
The comments came after an argument between the two of them, during Sunday’s cabinet meeting, that was leaked to the press.
In the heated discussion, Bennett asked Eisenkot why the army was not shooting to kill those launching incendiary objects into Israel. The IDF chief responded that this was not the military’s policy, given that the assailants are often young children.
