Responding to Bennett, PM assures that IDF soldiers ‘are not afraid of anyone’
Responding to claims by Education Minister Naftali Bennett, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweets that “IDF soldiers are not afraid of anyone.”
The one line post comes after Bennett’s criticism of the army’s Military Advocate General, which he said helped prevent soldiers from carrying out their fighting duties.
During a speech earlier today in which he announced that his party would remain in the government, Bennett complained that the army was too concerned with the legalities of war to fight properly, saying, “We impose on our warriors legal and conceptual hoops” they must jump through. “Our warriors are more worried about the Military Advocate General than about [Hamas leader] Yahya Sinwar in Gaza.”
