In farewell speech to Eisenkot, Rivlin says outgoing IDF chief was ‘our number one soldier’
Bidding farewell to Gadi Eisenkot, President Reuven Rivlin referred to the outgoing IDF chief of staff as “our number one soldier”

“You were stately, modest, a top-notch strategist, and a ‘people person.’ You designed the IDF as a quality and groundbreaking army.”
