A handover ceremony was held at the Prime Minister’s Office on Monday morning for the appointment of Lt. Gen Herzi Halevi as Israel’s 23rd IDF Chief of Staff.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant awarded Halevi, 54 the rank of lieutenant general, the first step in his replacement of outgoing Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi, who has held the position for the past four years.
Following the handover ceremony, Halevi left to visit Har Herzl military cemetery, daven at the Kosel and meet with President Isaac Herzog before traveling to the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv for the official handover ceremony and honor guard.

What a gross bizayon to the kedusha of the holy Kosel. The usual for the idolatrous Zionists.
@HaKatan Who gives you the right to decide what is a bizayon to the Kotel and what isn’t? Do you stand outside the Kotel and give permission to who is allowed in and who isn’t? Because if the roles were reversed, would they let you in? I’m not sure I would…
Hakatan: And if you are among the casualties of a terrorist attack, we will fondly remember your great respect for the chayalim of the IDF who are daily putting their lives on the line so that idiots like you can continue to spout your rants.
What happened
What a perfect name- HaKatan. They don’t make smaller people than you.
drcohn:
Zionism is anti-Jewish. Therefore, any Zionist ceremony, especially at the Kosel, is obviously offensive to all believing Jews.
what are you talking about hakatan We have a mitzvah to Occupy the Land
zionism is from the torah
@HaKatan I am a Shomer Shabbat, believing Jew living in Israel. Herzi Halevi is a Shomer Shabbat, believing Jew living in Israel. Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch is a Shomer Shabbat believing Jew living in Israel and we all strongly believe in the “Zionist ceremony” above. If you don’t approve of it, how about just not attend the ceremony instead of spreading lies of your fellow Jews?
