The battle for the appointment of the chief of staff: Ganz is preparing to extend Kochavi's tenure and will turn to the ombudsman to continue the appointment process
The Minister of Defense will explain his request to Rabbi Meira in the security situation that requires appointment despite the transitional government.
If the adviser rejects the request, Gantz will ask to work to extend Kochavi's tenure by a few months.
Factors in the defense establishment: If the chief of staff is not appointed, damage similar to that caused to the police in the absence of a commissioner may be caused.

In the video: Ganz refers to the appointment of the next chief of staff (video: streaming)
Defense Minister Bnei Gantz ended the meeting with the three candidates for the position of the 23rd IDF Chief of Staff, Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Maj. Gen. Yoel Strick and Maj. Gen.
Gantz will submit the legal opinion of the Ministry of Defense to the Attorney General this week, who views the election of a chief of staff in favor, despite the expected dismissal of the Knesset. "Give the government Gali Miara-Bahrav for avoiding appointments in such a political period.

Gantz will argue that in light of the security reality in which Israel finds itself and the challenges facing the various circles, it would be correct to approve the appointment of a chief of staff under a transitional government. The
Ministry of Defense is also preparing for the possibility that the Attorney General will seek to expand the opinion and interview those who are knowledgeable in the process.
If the ombudsman rejects the defense minister's request and does not allow the appointment of a new chief of staff, Ganz will turn to chief of staff Lt. Col. Aviv Kochavi and ask him to extend his tenure by a few months, until a new government is formed, or until the attorney general re-approves.
This is because the chance of forming another government in the foreseeable future is low.
Security officials said Kochavi had not yet been contacted on the matter, but in their estimation Kochavi could not oppose an extension of his term by a few months, since he has a security responsibility.
