IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says he “welcomes the appointment of attorney Itai Ofir” as the next military advocate general.

According to the IDF, Ofir was Zamir’s “leading candidate for the position.”

“The chief of staff sees utmost importance in appointing a military advocate general who comes from the ranks of combat officers in the IDF, with extensive legal experience and a deep understanding of both the challenges of combat and of law,” the military says, adding that Zamir will “continue to work to stabilize the Military Advocate General Corps as soon as possible for the protection of IDF soldiers.”
