Herzi Halevi

Halevi has dropped signals that he may not resign before there is a hostage exchange deal, something he believes should have occurred this past summer.

IDF leadership conducts ground assessment in the Gaza Strip's Jabalya area, with Chief of Staff Halevi pledging continued operations until all hostages are returned.

"If these obstacles are not removed by January 15, 2025, I will be compelled to use my investigative authority," Englman warned.

The IDF noted that families will be allowed to hear the recordings as part of IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi's policy to ensure transparency with bereaved families.

"Anyone who attempts to undermine the stability and security of the State of Israel, the IDF will stand firm against them," Halevi stated.

Katz also threatened Halevi that he would freeze all potential high command appointments until he receives the probe results.

"Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip are coming back to life. Residents are returning, and as they do, our responsibility grows even greater—not less."

The reserve brigades, known as the "David Brigades," will carry out defensive missions along various borders.
