Knesset Speaker Yuli-Yoel Edelstein saluted Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot of the Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday, during a farewell meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. Edelstein noted, "Over the past four years, we have dealt with a complex security situation in the south and north, a campaign between wars in every sense of the word."
Thanking Eizenkot for his cooperation with the committee, he continued, "On the public front, unfortunately, you have had to deal with all kinds of statements. With great sorrow, some of them have come out of this house and its surroundings. You have never betrayed your values, and your way of dealing with them has always been a moral one."
