Attached are the full remarks of the Chief of the General Staff: “The IDF, along with the government, is making a significant effort to allocate large sums of money for rewards and benefits – these are words that, in my view, diminish what your people and you are doing. But these are the words we have. I’ll just say, in my eyes, this is a solution for people who sacrifice so much, for the families, and I ask you to convey enormous appreciation to your families. I know that the entire household is involved in this support. It’s not enough, but we’re trying, within what we can provide, to do our very best, to adapt to constant changes – and there are changes over time.
We are deeply committed to the lessons of the last decade in the reserves – to train, equip, provide, and respect – that is the contract. We need to train you, respect you, and then I know that you and your people will come as you are now, with excellence. I deeply appreciate it, and truly, may we end this holiday with much light and take from the darkness. Thank you.”
