Incoming IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir told the high command on Thursday night that 2025 will be a year of war focused on Gaza and Iran, with other fronts also being given attention.
He said that he will emphasize the concept of “victory” as an important value, as, in recent years, the IDF had been focused on relative victory or deterrence.
Additionally, he has decided that all efforts will be made to return the hostages from Hamas, though no specific policy changes have been named.
Moreover, he has decided that a new IDF budgetary framework will be set in the second half of 2025.
He ordered full cooperation with outside authorities probing October 7 – likely a reference to the State Comptroller’s Office, which had a year-long fight with Zamir’s predecessor, Herzi Halevi, over cooperation during wartime.
In addition, Zamir decided to add a new tank division and to consider adding a new infantry division.Zamir may also take apart the Northern Infantry Forces Command, which runs in parallel to the Northern Command.
