Brig.-Gen. Ya\'ir Naveh, who served until recently as IDF Commander of Gaza, has changed his mind and will not retire from the army. Naveh will instead take up a new offer by IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Sha’ul Mofaz to become assistant to the Head of IDF planning. Mofaz has been frequently criticized for not promoting top officers such as Effie Eitam and Naveh, who are observant Jews. Eitam resigned due to the army\'s failure to promote him for some years to the rank of Maj. Gen.
