The government approved the appointment of Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi to the position of IDF chief of staff on Sunday. Defense Minister Benny Gantz tapped Halevi as the 23rd chief of staff in September. Gantz met with Halevi following the confirmation, where they discussed various issues that he will need to contend with when he begins his role as the country’s top military officer.
On Saturday, Gantz wrote on Twitter that he is “convinced” Halevi would lead the IDF to the right place. Halevi “has a very broad strategic outlook and a deep and thorough knowledge of each of the IDF’s arenas of actions,” adding that the “continuity of command is very important to the IDF in view of all the challenges” facing it.
