Former Knesset member Yoaz Hendel addressed the remarks made by former Defense Minister and IDF Chief Moshe 'Bogie' Yaalon in the ynet studio, where he claimed that 'the IDF Chief is not stopping clearly illegal orders and is instructing his soldiers to be war criminals.' Hendel wrote on his X account that this was a 'terrible statement.' He added, 'While tens of thousands of reservists are mobilized and need support from home, attacking the IDF Chief and calling soldiers war criminals shows a complete loss of direction.'
