Gen. Avi Bluth, writing on X that &#8220;I commend the defense minister on this decision.&#8221; According to her, &#8220;Bluth failed in his role. Instead of focusing all his forces on fighting terror, he chose to turn the hilltop youth and pioneers into the enemy. Under his command, settlers were persecuted time and again, while Arab terror grew stronger. Furthermore, Bluth repeatedly chose to take matters into his own hands and lead a policy that contradicted the policy set by the elected political echelon. In a democratic state, a command chief does not set policy. His role is to implement it. Anyone who wants to set Israel&#8217;s security policy is welcome to remove his uniform and run for Knesset. As long as he serves in the IDF, he is obligated to the government&#8217;s policy and not to his personal worldview.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MK Limor Son Har Melech (Jewish Power) also responded to Defense Minister Israel Katz&#8217;s announcement regarding the dismissal&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":700,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":["post-572624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/572624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=572624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/572624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/700"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=572624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=572624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=572624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
