Marzel: Pleased new IDF chief didn’t expel Jews
Extreme right activist and leader of the Jewish National Front party Baruch Marzel commented on the expected appointment of General Gaby Ashkenazi as IDF chief of staff, saying: "I am pleased that the selected chief of staff did not participate in expelling Jews from Gush Katif.
