Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett sharply criticized Defense Minister Israel Katz's televised announcement that the Central Command chief would replace Major General Avi Blot. Bennett accused the government of turning against its own soldiers, stating that after dismantling the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from outside and encouraging mass draft evasion, the government formed on October 7 is now dismantling the IDF from within, ensuring total chaos.
