Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman will begin the selection process next week for a new IDF Chief of Staff who will replace the current Chief of Staff, Gadi Eizenkot.
"As we approach the end of (Eisenkot's) term on December 31, I will begin a round of consultations and meetings with various candidates in the coming days in order to choose the best chief of staff for the IDF," Liberman said on Thursday.
