Opposition leader Yair Golan said the IDF chief of staff is refusing to give professional approval to a law that harms national security and increases the burden on soldiers, according to N12.
Opposition leader Yair Golan (Democrats) on Monday accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to turn the IDF into a partner in what he called Netanyahu's 'evasion scheme.' Golan added that the IDF Chief of Staff is refusing to give professional approval to a law that, in his view, harms national security and shifts the burden back onto those who serve. The remarks were made in a statement to N12. Golan, a reserve major general and former deputy chief of staff, has been a frequent critic of Netanyahu's security policies. The specific law in question was not detailed in the statement.
