Shas Leader Aryeh Deri Strongly Criticizes IDF Chief of Staff for Political Interference
Shas party chairman Aryeh Deri sharply criticized Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi for alleged political interference during the election period. In an exclusive interview with Kikar HaShabbat on Thursday, Deri accused Kochavi of attempting to support the left-wing bloc, calling it a "very dangerous precedent" that caused significant harm to the military. Deri stated, "He lost it. What the Chief of Staff did during the election period was clearly trying to help the left-wing bloc. He must not engage in politics." The comments reflect heightened tensions between political leaders and the military amid ongoing political debates in Israel.
