Eyal Zamir Appointed as Israel’s New Military Chief:

Israel has appointed Eyal Zamir as its new Chief of Staff at a critical juncture in its military history. A former tank commander and director of the defence ministry, Zamir replaces Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, who resigned following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. His appointment comes amid continued Israeli military operations in Gaza, rising tensions with Iran, and an increasing focus on West Bank security. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed confidence in Zamir’s ability to secure “absolute victory” against Hamas.
