The Israeli military said it was launching an investigation Saturday after a video it called a “serious violation of IDF orders and IDF values, and constitutes a suspicion of criminal offences.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 32-year-old son Yair posted a video of a reservist calling for a mutiny against the country’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Addressing Gallant directly, the reservist said, “You cannot win a war. Resign. You cannot win the war, you cannot command us,” adding: “We will listen to one leader, and it is not the minister of defense, and it is not the chief of staff, it is the prime minister. Here I tell you, did you want a military coup? We will show you what a decision is, we will show you what a victory is, and we will show you how real Jews win.”
A member of Netanyahu’s war Cabinet and also his conservative Likud party, Yoav Gallant, 65, rose to become one of the most senior commanders in the military, but Netanyahu sacked him last year after Gallant broke ranks to call for a halt to plans to curb the power of the judiciary amid widespread protests across Israel. After hundreds of thousands of Israelis took to the streets in spontaneous demonstrations, Gallant was reinstated. Last week, Gallant appeared to challenge Netanyahu again when he said the prime minister should not try to establish military or civilian rule in Gaza and instead commit to Palestinian rule.
