Former Chief of the General Staff Aviv Kochavi participated today in a memorial event for The Lamed Heh (The Convoy of 35), speaking for the first time since the attack by Hamas on October 7.
Kochavi, who stepped down from the position of Chief of the General Staff a year ago, did not shirk responsibility, stating, "These are difficult days accompanied by the righteousness of the path and the yearning of unity. On October 7, the wall was completely breached – this event will need to be examined from all angles. They will have to investigate the IDF – including my tenure. I am responsible for the actions taken in the IDF during my tenure." He added, "I constantly ask myself what could we have done differently?"
