Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Saturday night made a dramatic declaration calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt the judicial overhaul long enough to more deeply engage in negotiations with other to reach a compromise.
Gallant said, “The breach within the nation has penetrated deep into the IDF and the defense establishment – this is a clear and major threat to the security of Israel…I will not allow this.”
He also called on the opposition to stop IDF reservist strikes and protests against the government during any new negotiations.
The defense minister said, “I have risked and will risk my life,” for Israel, but “The dangers around us are large. Iran is close to nuclear military capability than ever. The Palestinian arena is also burning.”
“The IDF is a great army…along with the partner security forces,” but that due to fights over the judicial overhaul, in recent weeks, “Something fell apart,” he said.
Gallant explained, “I hear the voices from the [military] field and I am worried. What is happening to Israeli society does not pass over IDF. I see the strength of our forces being weakened.”
He said he is committed to the Likud’s values, ‘but Israel is above everything.”
