Israeli Military Investigates Reservist's Call for Mutiny Against Defense Minister
- The Israel Defense Forces launched a criminal probe into a reservist's call for mutiny against the defense minister.
- The viral video sparked an investigation regarding the soldier's statement against eliminating Hamas.
- The IDF aims to address the potential threat to military discipline and chain of command.
The Israel Defense Forces started an investigation into a soldier who made a video calling for a mutiny if the government doesn't achieve a "complete victory" against Hamas. The soldier said they won't give control of Gaza to any Palestinian group. The soldier also criticized Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and demanded his resignation. The IDF is looking into the video and commanders are talking to their troops about it. The soldier's actions are seen as breaking military rules and might be criminal. The soldier's video was shared by Netanyahu's son, Yair, who lives in Miami and is not involved in the war. The soldier said they support the Prime Minister and won't follow the Defense Minister's orders. The soldier also mentioned that they won't let Hamas or Fatah control Gaza. The soldier's actions are being investigated by the military police. In another incident, a $320 million US-built pier to provide aid to Gaza faced challenges in its first week. Only a small amount of aid reached Gaza, and some trucks were raided by desperate Palestinians. The IDF is also looking into a video showing troops burning books, including a Quran, at Al-Aqsa University in Gaza City. After public protests, Defense Minister Gallant was reinstated following controversial comments about Gaza. The soldier in the video demanded his resignation and expressed support for the Prime Minister. The soldier's actions are being investigated by the military.
