At the Israel Hayom conference, reservist Dedi Simchi alleged that during his service under then‑Brigadier General Yair Golan, Golan issued orders that would lead listeners to mistake him for the deputy of far‑right minister Itamar Ben‑Gvir. Simchi did not provide specific examples.
At the Israel Hayom conference on Sunday, reservist Dedi Simchi leveled an allegation against former IDF Deputy Chief of Staff and current politician Yair Golan. Simchi claimed that during his service under Golan's command, Golan issued orders of an extreme nature — orders that, in Simchi's words, would lead anyone hearing them to believe Golan was the deputy of far‑right National Security Minister Itamar Ben‑Gvir. Simchi did not elaborate on specific orders or incidents. The statement came as Golan leads the opposition Democratic camp ahead of a potential election rematch with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Zioneer has no prior reporting on this specific allegation, and no further corroboration or response from Golan's office was available at time of drafting.
