Former Deputy Chief of Staff Uzi Dayan discussed an IDF document with Prof. Aryeh Eldad and Ron Koffman, criticizing Kohavi and Halevi for overemphasizing intelligence.
The former IDF intelligence chief believes that the long-term threat presented by allowing Hezbollah to remain in Israeli territory outweighs the risk of a larger conflict with Hezbollah.
"This is the real chain of command of the State of Israel," said Gallant. "The prime minister, the defense minister, the chief of staff and IDF major-generals."
This joint exercise is expected to be one of the largest joint military exercises ever between Israel and the United States.
