Reserve officers and soldiers from intelligence and cyber units addressed a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, government members and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, calling on them to "complete a deal and stop the war." They also wrote that the letter is a "notice of refusal to serve under an anti-democratic and illegitimate government that chooses eternal war at the expense of the hostages and everyone who lives here." The signatories declared they would not continue to serve "Netanyahu's survival war," and noted that some of them will announce this publicly.
