Spokesman Avi Benihu of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Thursday evening, "I wish that my successor will be a spokesman for piece talks but it looks as if we are not [headed] in that direction and, in fact, [headed] in the other direction, to war."
Brigadier-General Benihu's comments came during the launch of "The Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Announces", a book about the role of the IDF Spokesperson's Office through the years. He dwelt on the special work and requirements of the IDF Spokesperson at this period in time of internet, Facebook and other social networks.
