Transport Minister Betzalel Smotrich (Yemina) has tweeted about the storm surrounding his remarks against mixed service in combat units.
"When I tell the truth and they are afraid to discuss it then they lie and distort my words. Here is the quote from the interview: 'Mixed units impair the IDF's operational ability and ability to meet its tasks.' The military has one mission - to provide security. And this must be done for professional reasons, as commanders think. Welcome to a discussion, " Smotrich tweeted.
