IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz responded to exclusive recordings published by Ynet over the IDF's 'Black Friday' during the Gaza war, saying that "the IDF is not a reality show. There are a lot of stories being published about Givati… everyone should know the commanders are the best there are."
Gantz backed the Givati commander, saying "it is unacceptable that recordings from a military operation are published. I have faith in the commanders… (but) if there were mistakes we will deal with them."
