Israeli official reprimanded for criticising Trump’s Gaza plan issues clarification ‘We reported earlier that Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz had ordered Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi to reprimand the head of the military intelligence directorate Shlomi Binder, after he warned that Trump’s plans to take over Gaza would result in an escalation of violence in the occupied West Bank. Binder has since said in a statement issued by the military that he clarified to Katz that as his role requires, he “presented the possible implications of the discourse on the subject, the enemy’s view from a security perspective, and recommendations for offensive activity accordingly”. “I spoke with the Defence Minister, and I clarified that I did not speak out against the Trump plan and that the [army], and therefore I too, are subordinate to the political eche- lon and will follow its instructions,” he added.
