Netanyahu hedges his bets on IDF reform

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won’t commit to implementing drastic IDF reforms recommended by the Locker Commission.

The IDF is up in arms over the commission findings, which call for massive budget cuts in the military. The army has produced its own reorganization plan, which it suggests as an alternative to the Locker findings.

“[Commission chief] Yohanan Locker did excellent work, but the IDF also did important work,” Netanyahu says. “I will study both reports and then make a decision.”
