IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz addressed the issue of women's exclusion for the public sphere saying: "We must keep on integrating women in any position they are able to carry out the task.
There is no place for discriminating between women and men, religious and secular, right and left, West Bank residents or Tel Aviv residents – because all of them together can stand up to any enemy." (Boaz Fyler and Yoav Zitun)
