Shas party chairman Arye Deri sharply attacked IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir following the warning letter he sent to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee against the ‘Detention Law.’ Deri, who initiated the law, accused Zamir in an interview with Kikar Hashabat of mixing politics with the military and claimed it was a dangerous precedent that harmed the IDF. ‘What the chief of staff did during the election period — he tried to help the left-wing bloc, unequivocally! This is extremely serious. He is my friend, I appreciate him, but unfortunately, for a long time now, I have seen that he has lost it,’ he said.
