Ya’alon defends IDF chief against criticism from lawmakers
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon denounces on Twitter ministers and MKs who’ve taken part in “incitement unprecedented in its severity” against IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot.
He says Eisenkot is leading IDF commanders in a “determined and uncompromising war against Palestinian terrorism” and that he lends Eisenkot and the troops his full support .
“When we need to investigate we do so, and any cynical political intervention in the matter of operational inquiry, investigations, or rules of engagement is detrimental to the IDF and harms soldiers and commanders.”
