The IDF spokesman issued an unusual clarification this afternoon (Sunday) - after Government Secretary Yossi Fox presented, in a High Court hearing on the conscription law, statements made by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir at a cabinet meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The clarification is intended to clarify the Chief of Staff's position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the High Court hearing, Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fox revealed the minutes in which the Chief of Staff's demand to pass a conscription law as soon as possible was recorded - and read a quote as proof of his support for the conscription law being promoted by the government. "Without these three laws - the conscription law, 36 months and the reserve law - the IDF will collapse, the IDF will not be able to carry out its current missions," Fox quoted Zamir - and added the Chief of Staff's warning to the cabinet: "We must deal with this matter, and it would be better if it were one hour earlier.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Boaz Bismuth, also wrote that "the Chief of Staff is shouting that we pass the conscription law. We will do so as soon as possible. The conscription law will pass.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In response, the IDF spokesman issued a clarification stating: "We would like to clarify that the Chief of Staff referred to the need for a conscription law that would meet the immediate and urgent needs of the IDF, as presented throughout the past year and since he took office. The Chief of Staff did not express support for any specific conscription law.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""The Chief of Staff warned in cabinet discussions that starting in January 2027, the length of regular service is expected to decrease to 30 months. This decrease in the length of regular service, in parallel with the increase in the scope of IDF missions, will cause an unreasonable burden on reserve servicemen.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""Therefore, the Chief of Staff emphasized the need to promote a comprehensive legislative response, including extending compulsory service to 36 months, updating the Reserve Law, and regulating the number of recruits to the IDF in order to meet its expanding missions.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\""The IDF will continue to present its professional needs to the political echelon.".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u05d3\u05d5\u05d1\u05e8 \u05e6\u05d4\"\u05dc \u05e4\u05e8\u05e1\u05dd \u05d1\u05e6\u05d4\u05e8\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd (\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d5\u05df) \u05d4\u05d1\u05d4\u05e8\u05d4 \u05d7\u05e8\u05d9\u05d2\u05d4 - \u05dc\u05d0\u05d7\u05e8 \u05e9\u05de\u05d6\u05db\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d4\u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05d4, \u05d9\u05d5\u05e1\u05d9 \u05e4\u05d5\u05e7\u05e1, \u05d4\u05e6\u05d9\u05d2 \u05d1\u05d3\u05d9\u05d5\u05df \u05d1\u05d1\u05d2\"\u05e5 \u05e2\u05dc \u05d7\u05d5\u05e7 \u05d4\u05d2\u05d9\u05d5\u05e1 \u05d3\u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e8\u05de\u05d8\u05db\"\u05dc \u05d0\u05d9\u05d9\u05dc \u05d6\u05de\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d1\u05d9\u05e9\u05d9\u05d1\u05ea \u05d4\u05e7\u05d1\u05d9\u05e0\u05d8. \u05d4\u05d4\u05d1\u05d4\u05e8\u05d4 \u05e0\u05d5\u05e2\u05d3\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d7\u05d3\u05d3 \u05d0\u05ea \u05e2\u05de\u05d3\u05ea \u05d4\u05e8\u05de\u05d8\u05db\"\u05dc. \u05d1\u05de\u05d4\u05dc\u05da \u05d4\u05d3\u05d9\u05d5\u05df \u05d1\u05d1\u05d2\"\u05e5, \u05d7\u05e9\u05e3 \u05de\u05d6\u05db\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d4\u05de\u05de\u05e9\u05dc\u05d4 \u05d9\u05d5\u05e1\u05d9 \u05e4\u05d5\u05e7\u05e1 \u05d0\u05ea \u05d4\u05e4\u05e8\u05d5\u05d8\u05d5\u05e7\u05d5\u05dc \u05e9\u05d1\u05d5 \u05ea\u05d5\u05e2\u05d3\u05d4 \u05d3\u05e8\u05d9\u05e9\u05ea\u05d5 \u05e9\u05dc \u05d4\u05e8\u05de\u05d8\u05db\"\u05dc \u05dc\u05d4\u05e2\u05d1\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d7\u05d5\u05e7 \u05d2\u05d9\u05d5\u05e1 \u05d1\u05d4\u05e7\u05d3\u05dd \u05d4\u05d0\u05e4\u05e9\u05e8\u05d9 - \u05d5\u05d4\u05e7\u05e8\u05d9\u05d0 \u05e6\u05d9\u05d8\u05d5\u05d8 […]","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":1054272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[24521,2636,183,48850],"class_list":["post-1058569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-1","tag-24521","tag-2636","tag-183","tag-48850"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
