Colonel (res.) Prof. Gabi Siboni said the "revolt of the generals" is not only about October 7 but reflects a broader phenomenon where the military pursues its own independent policy. The remarks were quoted by journalist Yaara Zered on Channel 14.
Colonel (res.) Prof. Gabi Siboni, a well-known security commentator, said that the phenomenon often described as a "generals' revolt" extends beyond the failures of October 7. According to Siboni, the military is conducting an independent policy, separate from the elected government's directives. The comments were relayed via journalist Yaara Zered on Channel 14 and have been circulating widely on right-of-center platforms. No further context or specific events were cited by the source. Earlier this month, Siboni called for a disproportionate response in Lebanon—a position he reiterated in past media appearances.
