PLEASE TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW AND SEND YOUR LETTER TO THE UN OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL ADVISER ON THE PREVENTION OF GENOCIDE AND THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PROSECUTOR.

The outgoing Chief of Staff promised at the beginning of his term to deploy a deadly army. Kochavi’s approach fit like a glove to governments that are not interested in a political solution, and to the radicalizing Israeli society.

Aviv Kochavi sparked controversy immediately when he entered the position of Chief of Staff in January 2019: At his appointment ceremony, he pledged to “deploy a lethal, efficient, and innovative army.” “Lethal”, according to the The Hebrew Academy of the Hebrew Language, means “causes death”.
