The Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee gathered Wednesday morning for a special meeting regarding PM Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak's decision to cancel Maj.-Gen.Yoav Galant's appointment to IDF chief of staff.
According to an official statement released by the committee chair MK Shaul Mofaz (Kadima), Wednesday was a "complex and sad day for the state of Israel." Mofaz said that he "opposes the personal persecution campaign against him [Galant]." He added that the committee plans to discuss the legitimacy of the process that Galant underwent, and to examine the possibility of imposing tight parliamentary supervision on future proceedings.
