MK Gadi Eisenkot participated this morning (Tuesday) in the conference of the Israel Democracy Institute, and attacked: “The behavior of the future coalition undermines the authority of command in the IDF, harms public trust and may lead to the disbanding of the army.”
Watch:
against Ben Gvir
“The title that the appointed minister received, the Minister of National Security, indicates the magnitude of the absurdity and the bias we are in. If there is one person who is identified with national security, it is the Prime Minister, with him it is parked. The joint responsibility for national security rests with the Ministerial Committee for National Security Affairs – the Cabinet. The subjugation due to a political need of the Security Guard units in Judea and Samaria and the Civil Administration – if someone wants to create anarchy in Judea and Samaria this is the way to do it.
“The treaty between the IDF and the police for years is that their direct commander is the commander of the military. This cannot change, the designated minister is not in the chain of command. The chain of command is sharp and clear. The basic law of the army states that only the chief of staff gives orders to the soldiers, head The government or any other minister above his head cannot give an order to the commanding general. Only the Chief of Staff and the Command Avenue give orders to the soldiers. The citizens of Israel are not aware of the operative action in a complex reality, in the challenges of combating terrorism that the Shin Bet, the IDF achieve 98% countermeasures and save lives. If this balance is violated, a very complex reality will be created.

The soldier and the armored case
“The Magistrate who judged the soldier this morning acted according to authority. In the army there is an orderly procedure and the soldier can appeal to the appeal or to the soldier’s admissibility commissioner. The conduct of the politicians weakens the IDF and harms the public’s trust in it, as we saw sharply in the Azaria case and it is getting worse. Netanyahu damaged the Azaria case in the IDF, the public’s trust in the IDF and the IDF as a state body. It is appropriate to try to set lines for conduct, and unfortunately, personal needs and the desire for headlines created a fatal injury to statehood. The next government enters vertigo even before it took off.”
Eisenkot also said regarding the instructions to open fire: “These instructions have not changed since 1988 and allow the IDF to function in a professional, efficient and sharp manner and there are also constraints. Politicians talk about it with zero authority. The authority lies with the Chief of Staff and with the Chief of Staff who controls. It is unthinkable that citizens would determine the instructions to open fire. What’s more, these are people who did not serve in the army and are guided by populist considerations. When a soldier sees means and intent he is allowed to shoot. Soldiers are expected to act in a professional manner: mission, instructions to open fire and performance constraints. Politicians get into it to earn the headlines.”
Regarding the possibility of changing the conscription law in the escalation clause, he said: a disturbing process that is manifested in the fact that this morning 48% of citizens are conscripted into the army and only 35% complete their service, “of conscripts, 67% are conscripted and 58% complete their service. Anyone who harms the people’s army is causing a fatal harm to national security. Required Enact ‘service for all’ – the recruitment of 18-year-old boys and girls from all over society for military, national, civil or community service that can be done both in the ultra-orthodox community and in other sectors. If the motivation to go to war diminishes, we will be asked who will carry out the huge tasks that the IDF has from Iran, the Palestinian arena and more”.
