'Know your place': Gotliv calls for IDF chief Zamir's dismissal after his criticism of draft law

Likud MK Tally Gotliv called for the dismissal of IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir following his letter warning of a 17,000-soldier shortage in the IDF. Gotliv stated, "Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, I suggest you know your place!!" and accused him of entering the political arena, which she believes weakens troop morale. Similarly, Likud MK Osher Shekalim criticized Zamir, asserting that the Chief of Staff should act as "the number one soldier and nothing else," and that his public comments on the draft law exceeded his authority. Shekalim argued that such actions undermine proper administration and that the military should focus solely on its operational role, learning from the lessons of October 7.
