Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the new army chief of Israel, announced that he plans to keep the military free of politics. Halevi is the first West Bank settler to serve as the military chief.
He succeeds Aviv Kohavi, who over the weekend spoke out in a series of interviews against dividing the military’s authority, particularly in the occupied West Bank. Kohavi wrapped up a four-year term.
