Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen.

In the meeting where the findings were presented, Halutz told the committee members to reinvestigate some parts of their inquiry, Army Radio reported. During the discussion, Halutz asked resigning Brig.-Gen. Gal Hirsch, the commander of Division 91, three times to retract his resignation. Hirsch agreed to stay in his position until a replacement could be found.
