Ayelet Kroizer, who grew up in the Haredi community and served in the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, has announced her appointment as spokesperson for the radical leftist organization "Breaking the Silence." Kroizer stated in a social media post that she is taking on the new role and sharply criticized the IDF Spokesperson's Unit, accusing it of distorting public information. She claimed that during her service, she helped craft messages that presented an inaccurate picture of reality.
Kroizer explained that her military service exposed her not only to IDF operations in Gaza and Judea and Samaria but also to how this information was conveyed to the public in Israel and abroad. She asserted that the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has significant control over shaping public perception and "plays problematically with the truth as if it were another PR body and not, God forbid, a body committed to the public."
She further made serious allegations regarding the wording of messages sent to the media, admitting her own involvement in these processes. "During my service, I played with the details that went out to the media," she wrote. Her announcement of the move from the IDF Spokesperson's Unit to Breaking the Silence sparked strong reactions online, with many attacking Kroizer for her statements and accusations against the military.
Among the respondents was Deputy Minister Almog Cohen, who criticized Kroizer, stating, "Shocking. But it allows us a clear picture of how much sickness there is in the systems and to what depths you have penetrated."
