Netanyahu says he’s working with IDF chief, top security brass to face ‘big challenges’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he is working with security chiefs to face the country’s “big challenges,” a day after Hebrew media reported that he had shouted at IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and other senior commanders over their perceived failure to stop a wave of refusals to show up for duty, in protest of the government’s judicial overhaul.

In a terse message, Netanyahu tweets that he is “working day and night together with the defense minister, the military chief, senior IDF officers and security forces to jointly guarantee Israel’s security under all circumstances.”
