IDF chief: We must do justice with yeshiva students
None
Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi addressed the criticism voiced by Paratroopers Brigade Commander Aharon Haliva against yeshiva students serving in the army, saying that "I believe commanders are allowed to have an opinion, but I think this is not the way to say it.
"We must do justice with the yeshiva students. They serve in the IDF and have an important contribution to the command and reserve forces. I understand the commanders' desire to have everyone do everything, but this is the arrangement." (Ynet)
