‘Blood libel against IDF soldiers’: Katz demands action against former MAG
Defense Minister Israel Katz orders IDF Chief Eyal Zamir to revoke Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi’s rights and exhaust all military measures in the Sde Teiman leak case
Assessment
By ordering the IDF chief to strip a former military advocate general of rights and pursue maximum measures, Katz is escalating an internal military justice dispute into a direct confrontation. The Sde Teiman leak case has become a flashpoint. The demand signals that the defense minister views the former MAG's actions as a betrayal of soldiers, not a procedural disagreement. Watch for whether the IDF chief follows through or tries to de-escalate.
