Ben-Gvir Proposes Overhauling IDF Ethics Code to Emphasize Jewish Values and Victory

Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba

Center-rightNeutral tone

English · 2 newsrooms covering

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir proposed changing the IDF's Code of Ethics to emphasize Jewish values and military victory. The plan, if he becomes defense minister, would replace "Purity of Arms" with "Righteousness of Arms" and prioritize defeating enemies. It would also remove language on using only necessary force and protecting non-combatants, defining the IDF as a "Jewish, state-run army."
