IDF announces new appointments, again skips controversial Gaza war general
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israel Defense Forces announces a new round of appointments for brigadier generals, again failing to offer a new position to the controversial Brig. Gen. Ofer Winter.
Winter, a former head of the Givati Brigade, has reportedly threatened to leave the military, if he does not receive command over a division or a similar position appropriate to his background.
Winter came under public scrutiny over his role in the 2014 Gaza war, which he described at the time as a religious conflict, drawing ire and condemnation in Israel.
The controversy over his lack of an appointment has also raised accusations that the army refuses to promote him because he is a devout Jew, something the army fiercely disputes.
