The IDF Ombudsman Major General (res.) Yitzhak Brick, responds to the report on the IDF's preparedness for war and says that this is a cover-up, as he put it.
"The citizens of Israel will pay a very heavy price for the whitewashing of the system's problems and no one will be able to say that I did not warn, I suggest to the senior officers of the IDF, the members of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and cabinet ministers to wake up before it is too late."
