Purim Shpiel: The following is a satirical article from The Jerusalem Post's annual parodic Purim page, The Jerusalem Roast. Enjoy!
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said plans to evacuate Rafah civilians would be approved soon in a video published on Wednesday.
According to reports, he also intends to lead a massive resignation of officials in high-up positions who were part of the security failure that led to October 7.
IDF Maj.-Gen. Gadi Shamni discussed the war and criticized Bezalel Smotrich's attack on Herzi Halevi. He said the chief of staff will quit when he thinks it's safe to give the reigns over.
Smotrich should keep his views on military appointments to himself and, instead, focus 100% of his time and energy on his ministry.
In both cases, however, valid criticism was largely drowned out not due to the lack of substance of the critique but rather because of the individual who expressed it.
Halevi, who is expected to resign sometime after he and the military issue a June interim report on the October 7 failures, is committed to letting his replacement reshape the major generals' level.
Is the IDF waiting to confirm Issa's death as a technical matter until someone unearths his body, or does the army actually suspect that he is still alive?
Smotrich added to Channel 12, "We support them absolutely to manage the war and to win. That, but nothing more."
Herzi Halevi said discipline and the chain of command must be maintained, despite IDF officials’ heroism during the current war.
