Local Editor

“Israeli” War Minister Avigdor Lieberman announced Friday that he has chosen Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi as his candidate to become the next “Israeli” chief of staff to replace Gadi Eisenkot, who is scheduled to conclude his tenure by the end of the year.

The decision was made following an orderly election process conducted by Lieberman over the past three months. Kochavi’s candidacy will be presented before the so-called “Justice” Eliezer Goldberg’s appointments committee on Sunday and will then be subject to the approval of the apartheid entity’s cabinet.

Lieberman announced his decision to Prime Minister Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, and also spoke with the three other candidates.

Lieberman's office issued an official statement following the announcement, emphasizing the war minister’s belief that Maj. Gen. Kochavi was the most suitable and the most experienced candidate.

The 54-year-old Kochavi previously served as commander of military intelligence, chief of northern command and most recently as Eizenkot's deputy.
