Member of Knesset Tzipi Livni (Hatenua') thanked outgoing Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot of the Israel Defense Forces, Sunday evening, "for the years that you have devoted to the security of Israel as a soldier and a commander, for seeing not only the map of the battle, but also for our children who were entrusted to you."
Speaking at a farewell event for Eisenkot, Livni thanked him for "the wisdom that you discovered in understanding that security and change of reality will also come in military force, but also in the integration of a political process. A chief of staff and a human being."
