Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks with Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi after the IDF chief announces his resignation, and thanks him for his long service to the country.
Netanyahu “thanked the IDF chief of staff for his many years of service and his command of the IDF” during the past 15 months of war “which led to great achievements for the State of Israel,” the Prime Minister’s Office says. The pair are slated to meet in the coming days.
Halevi said earlier today that he intends to resign from his position effective March 6, citing his “failure” to prevent Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack.
