In a shocking turn of events, Minister Dodi Amsalem’s removal from his position in the reserve service has been followed by an impeachment procedure. Denying any wrongdoing from the speaker’s podium in the Knesset, Minister Amsalem’s situation is now being clarified.
Revealing a document written by the commander of Amsalem’s company after the incident, it is evident that his behavior was inappropriate and he refused to cooperate with the investigation. The document states that the following day, Amsalem left for his home and could not be reached afterward. Phone calls to his home and his parents’ home went unanswered.
The commander also highlighted that this incident is not an isolated case but part of a pattern of misconduct that includes the loss of an automatic machine gun during a trip in the Gaza Strip, repeated violations of discipline, and extremely poor human relations. Numerous complaints from soldiers and commanders have been made regarding Amsalem’s conduct.
Major (res.) Uri Kovacs, Member of Parliament in the reserve battalion where the minister served, shared his account of the incident. Kovacs revealed that Amsalem was removed from his position after he refused to participate in an investigation conducted by the brigade commander. This investigation was initiated after Amsalem allegedly drove a Jeep without the proper license.
Kovacs recounted one particular night in Jenin when a jeep got stuck on the outskirts of an Arab village. Soldiers, including his uncle Amsalem, claimed they came under attack from a barrage of stones. However, when the MP arrived to investigate, Amsalem ran home and was not seen since. Another soldier eventually admitted that Amsalem had forced him to lie about driving the vehicle and had coerced the entire company to join in the deception.
Minister Amsalem responded to these allegations by defending his military service record and inviting the honorable MP to present proof before discrediting him.
As the impeachment procedure unfolds and more evidence comes to light, the fate of Minister Dodi Amsalem hangs in the balance. The seriousness of the accusations against him, including the pattern of misconduct and his alleged attempt to manipulate his fellow soldiers, will undoubtedly have significant implications on his political career.
It remains to be seen how Amsalem will navigate these allegations and whether he will be able to regain the trust of his constituents and colleagues in the government. Israel anxiously awaits the resolution of this unfolding controversy.
