Katz commented by saying: The Minister of Defense issues his instructions to the Chief of Staff, which is affiliated with the political leadership, in the way he deems appropriate .. The response of the Chief of Staff in this regard was unnecessary and inappropriate, according to what it published.
The Minister of Defense continued: The instructions addressed to the Chief of Staff to examine the circumstances that led to the investigation and the allegations received in the letter written by Brigadier Orn Solomon, to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense, regarding the behavior of the Israeli army towards him in the light of the decisive investigation he conducted.
Katz added: It was issued immediately before the announcement of the announcement to the media because of the general nature – and this is without any intention to harm the same investigation, which is conducted by the Prosecutor’s Military Office.
For his part, the Chief of Staff Zamir said, in comments published by the Israeli newspaper “Jerusalem Post”: The Chief of Staff does not receive instructions through media statements, and the claim that Solomon is under investigation because of his role in the investigations of October 7 is invalid and baseless.
He continued: Solomon was called to interrogate for a suspicion of committing serious violations of information security, and the investigation will continue with professionalism and objectivity.
Zamir affirmed his standing alongside legal agencies and law enforcement devices in the Israeli occupation army, which he said: It works in accordance with the protocol and legal standards.
