'He's lost it': Shas leader Deri slams IDF chief Zamir over 'trying to help left-wing bloc'
"He has no business getting involved in politics. This is a very dangerous precedent. He caused great damage to the army!" Deri said
Assessment
Shas leader Aryeh Deri's public attack on IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir signals a deepening of the political-military divide in Israel. Deri accuses Zamir of overstepping his role by allegedly aiding a left-wing bloc, framing this as a dangerous precedent that harms the army. The stakes involve the military's perceived neutrality and its relationship with the government. Watch for whether other coalition members join the criticism or if Zamir responds directly.
