@mdubowitz: “The October 7 disaster was a game-changer for Israel, and Lt. Gen. Zamir’s appointment heralds a much-needed overhaul of the IDF. He will be tasked with bringing a tanker’s respect for the traditional might of fire and steel, as well as the discipline needed to keep a conscript military vigilant. His most recent position as the top bureaucrat at the Defense Ministry also means he has valuable and active channels of communication with the Pentagon regarding force buildup. Zamir is a fearless warrior and exactly the leader Israel needs to defend its people against the evil threatening it on multiple fronts.”
