General Staff

This evening, Thursday, information was published regarding a meeting between the political echelon and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. The discussion focused on open-fire regulations and restrictions applied to IDF soldiers in the Gaza Strip. "Removing a threat is the duty of every soldier," Zamir emphasized in a conversation with General Staff officers.

Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir held a force-building meeting, declaring that "today's force-building is tomorrow's victory." The strategy prioritizes the integration of robotics and autonomous systems across air, land, and maritime domains.

Amidst the election campaign and multi-front conflict, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has announced a freeze on Major General appointments until early 2027. The move ensures that Central Command chief Avi Bluth will remain in his role for at least three more years, despite Defense Minister Israel Katz's attempts to replace him.

As reported this evening (Thursday) on News 14, at least ten senior Israel Police officers, including several commissioners serving on the General Staff, are uniting to demand the dismissal of police spokesperson Colonel Aryeh Doron during the upcoming round of appointments.

Senior political commentator and close associate of the Prime Minister, Yaakov Bardugo, opened his program on 'Galey Israel' radio with a sharp attack against the security establishment: "I no longer believe the briefings that come out of the corridors of Israel. The army has returned to the conception of October 7."
