MK Limor Son Har Melech (Otzma Yehudit) criticized the allocation of IDF forces, saying that while there is no manpower to capture refugee camps as Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed, there are forces available to destroy outposts in Judea and Samaria. Her remarks reference the ongoing dispute between Katz and Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Blot over operational priorities.
MK Limor Son Har Melech (Otzma Yehudit) on Monday criticized the allocation of military resources, claiming that the IDF has no manpower to carry out Defense Minister Israel Katz's directive to capture additional refugee camps in Judea and Samaria, but has forces available to destroy outposts. Her remarks echo an ongoing debate between Katz and Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Blot, who has reportedly argued that no camp currently warrants a broad operation. As The Zioneer reported on August 4, Katz instructed the IDF to prepare to capture another refugee camp, replicating the Jenin model, a move Blot opposed. Son Har Melech's statement adds a political dimension to the dispute, questioning the prioritization of dismantling outposts over counter-terror operations.
