In a statement publicized this evening, Defense Minister Israel Katz condemned incitement targeting the IDF Chief of Staff. Katz said that "red lines must not be crossed even when there are disputes" — a clear call to keep political or public disagreements with the military leadership within acceptable bounds. The statement did not name any specific incident or figure behind the incitement. It comes as tensions between parts of the political system and the top military brass have been publicly visible in recent weeks. The Defense Minister's office has not provided additional details.
