Prime Minister Netanyahu at the conference of Senior IDF Reserve Commanders: “There is no more containment. There is initiative and around-the-clock activity. The reserve force is a fundamental component: we need a big, strong and smart military”.
Prime Minister Netanyahu took part today in the conference of the Forum of Senior IDF Reserve Commanders, along with Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief-of-Staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
The prime minister addressed the participants of the conference and responded to questions posed by the reserve officers.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
“We not only changed the Middle East, we also changed ourselves. There is no more containment. There is initiative and around-the-clock activity. And we are doing that because we know who you are, and we know what an amazing military we have. Not only the regular force – with everybody calling this “the TikTok generation”, and it’s obvious by now that that’s not the case – but our reserve force which mobilized again, contrary to everything that the enemy expected. They were wrong – wrong about us, wrong about you.
The reserve force is a fundamental component, a core component. We need a big and strong military that is also smart. We will expand the regular force and we will substantially strengthen the reserve force, and also strengthen the families – because today the attitude is very simple, there is no such thing as a reserve soldier or reserve commander that is a separate unit with their family put aside. They are the same unit”.
