The IDF says Brig. Gen. Dan Goldfus’s remarks addressed to Israel’s political leaders at the end of his press statement earlier were not approved by the Spokesperson’s Unit.
The commander will be called in for a “clarification conversation,” the IDF adds.
Goldfus’s remarks to Israel’s political leaders were read from a separate handwritten notebook, after he had completed reading a prepared and approved speech on the division’s operations in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
