Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says “no one has the right to harm the IDF,” a day after right-wing mobs stormed a pair of military bases to protest the arrests of reserve soldiers on suspicion of severely sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee.
“It doesn’t matter who it is… including public representatives,” Gallant tells reservists during a tour of the Gaza border, according to a statement from his office. “If you harm the IDF, you harm your self, your harm us, all of us.”
“There are lot of things that don’t happen perfectly in the State of Israel, but one thing needs to be clear: When you look back you need to see the people of Israel behind you — all of them,” adds Gallant.
