He added: "The release of the kidnapped is a top goal. We need to bring everyone back. When I was at the Western Wall, this was my note - peace to the IDF soldiers and the return of our kidnapped.".
The Chief of Staff noted that "there is no longer any concept of silence in the IDF. The IDF will not be in silence. There will be routines and holidays.".
He also said that "the trust of citizens in the IDF and the trust of IDF soldiers in their commanders are the bedrock of our existence. The IDF is not mine, all my considerations are for the IDF and the security of the state.".
Regarding the investigations, Zamir said: "We will conduct a rapid and professional investigative process aimed at growth, with central focal points - a team to examine the investigations, headed by Maj. Gen. (Res.) Sami Turgeman, will include a limited number of experienced reserve officers, as part of a work plan to implement all the lessons learned.
""So far, the background from the first day of the fighting and what led up to it will be investigated. We will define a mechanism for investigating the war, the battles, and assimilating the lessons.".
