    Minister of Defense on the move Yoav Gallant met with the IDF General Staff on Wednesday, his office said, after he was fired Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Tuesday.

    “We have changed the balance of power in the Middle East – from Gaza to Tehran, from Hodeidah to Dahiyeh. In all these places, things have happened that have never happened before, and we have pushed our enemies back decades.” , Gallant noted. .

    “The loyalty of the IDF, its commanders, its officers and the oath of its recruits from day one is to the State of Israel and its laws,” Gallant also said in his address to the officers.

    “The Cause in Itself”

    “This commitment is reflected in the spirit IDF and its values. This is what we are committed to – the cause itself, which is bigger than any of us and has been the aspiration of millions of Jews for 2,000 years,” Gallant stated.

    He said Israel needs a large-scale deployment of additional troops, stating: “I think the security challenges will increase significantly, which means we will need more resources. The first of these is that we will need more people – people who carry the burden, thousands of them.”

    On Tuesday, Netanyahu announced that he had fired Gallant, replacing him with Foreign Minister Israel Katz.

    “In the midst of a war, more than ever, full trust is required between the prime minister and the defense minister,” Netanyahu said of his move, noting that a “crisis of confidence” had emerged between him and the defense minister.

    Gallant, however, claimed in his speech on Tuesday that he was fired because of his opposition to the kindergarten bill, Netanyahu’s refusal to reach a hostage deal and form a National Commission of Inquiry into the events from October 7.
