President Isaac Herzog met with soldiers serving in the Hebron Hills and condemned “a vocal minority group” who are damaging the reputation of the settlement movement and the IDF, his office says.
“It is important to me on this occasion to strengthen Central Command head Yehuda Fox, who is going through difficult days of blatant, insolent and ugly personal attacks,” Herzog tells the soldiers.
“The IDF is doing everything – as I see here with the Yehuda Brigade – everything to protect the residents. The residents and the IDF are one in so many ways,” he continues.
“There is a vocal minority group that is causing terrible damage to the settlement movement and the IDF and it is extremely important that we stand up to them and make it clear to them that enough is enough.”
“I would like to strengthen the war cabinet headed by Prime Minister Netanyahu, and all the members of the cabinet for the balanced and responsible decisions,” he adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
