Barak promises to resume appointment of IDF chief in coming days
None
Defense Minister Ehud Barak welcomed the police announcement exonerating Defense Ministry and IDF officials of involvement in the creation of the Galant document and announced that the process of appointing a new IDF chief of staff will resume in the coming days.
Barak said he "had no doubt from the first moment that the document was forged and aimed at hurting the appointment of the next IDF chief." The minister noted that he will continue cooperating with IDF chief Gabi Ashkenazi on the professional-security level until his last day in term. (Hanan Greenberg)
