Condolences to the 'Eretz Nehederet' editor: the parody of Israel Katz pales in comparison to the original
A scathing opinion column criticizes Defense Minister Israel Katz for attempting to dismiss Central Command Chief Aluf Avi Bluth live on air. The author, a former adviser to defense ministers, claims Katz is acting beyond his authority and that Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir will not allow it. He calls on Likud voters to express disgust and remove the government from office.
A scathing opinion column criticizes Defense Minister Israel Katz for attempting to dismiss Central Command Chief Aluf Avi Bluth live on Channel 14. The author, who identifies himself as a former adviser to three defense ministers, claims Katz is acting beyond his authority, as the authority to dismiss a major general rests solely with the Chief of Staff. He accuses Katz of trying to turn the IDF into a 'Ben Gvir police force' and of ignoring national security considerations in favor of political pressures. The author praises Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir for showing a 'backbone' and not succumbing to pressure. He calls on Likud voters to express disgust at the minister's conduct and to remove the government from office. The column concludes with the statement that the parody of 'Eretz Nehederet' pales in comparison to reality.
