Religious Zionist Party MK Itamar Ben-Gvir on Tuesday sent a letter to IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kohavi, demanding that he expel officers from the IDF’s Spokesperson’s Unit for allegedly briefing reporters against a soldier in the unit who served as Ben-Gvir’s spokesman during his election campaign and in the past as spokesman of the far-right organization Lehava, Ben-Gvir’s office said.
Itamar Sassover, 22, served as a spokesman in the IDF Personnel Directorate, Haaretz reported Tuesday. “Security sources” were surprised by Sassover’s position because “the Personnel Directorate is considered strategic for the extreme Right” due to its authority over the Education Corps and the gender affairs adviser to the chief of staff. The extreme Right opposes the integration of women into combat units and wants to influence the educational content taught to soldiers, hence the Personnel Directorate is strategic, Haaretz reported.
