JERUSALEM (AA) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appointed Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir as the new army chief on Saturday, after top general Herzi Halevi's resignation.
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have agreed on the appointment of Maj.-Gen. (Res.) Eyal Zamir as the next IDF Chief-of-Staff," the premier's office said in a brief statement.
Zamir currently serves as the director general of the Defense Ministry, and will assume his new role once Halevi's resignation takes effect on March 6.
Halevi stepped down last month, citing failures related to the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks.
