Gantz names one-time aide as his new military secretary
Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s one-time aide, Col. Yaki Dolef, is named his military secretary, the Israel Defense Forces says.
Dolef, who currently commands the Northern Gaza Brigade, served for two years as Gantz’s aide when the defense minister was IDF chief of staff, and is considered a close confidant.
Dolef will be promoted to the rank of brigadier general and will succeed Brig. Gen. Ofer Winter, who currently serves as military secretary to the defense minister. Winter has been tapped to take over as commander of the 98th Paratroopers Division.
The IDF says a date for the transition will be chosen shortly.
