Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir: "The blackmailing attempts of IDF soldiers and their commanders are made through baseless lies and manipulations. We must stand up to every claimant and say clearly: the IDF is the moral army in the world. We adhere to the values of the IDF and international law and do everything in our power to avoid harming the innocent."

"The phrase 'All Israel is bound to each other' is also the deepest expression of the individual's responsibility for the well-being of the entire nation. This important parable is reflected in the blackmailing attempts of the IDF soldiers and their commanders in a variety of ways, using lies and baseless manipulations."
