Top IDF officers arrive at Knesset to brief MKs as voting on ‘reasonableness’ bill underway
As the Knesset votes on the “reasonableness” bill, head of the Operations Directorate, Maj. Gen. Oded Basiuk, and the head of the Military Intelligence Directorate, Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, arrive to brief lawmakers about military readiness as protests over the judicial overhaul roil the IDF’s ranks.
Channel 12 reports that Netanyahu refused to meet IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi before the voting began. The PM’s office denies this, and says their meeting was set for 5 p.m.
