The legal advisor published her decision today (Thursday) that at this time it is not possible to appoint a commander to the IDF waves despite his selection by a search committee.
In addition, the ombudsman forbids the search committee to forward to Defense Minister Gantz the candidate she recommended for the position.
The adviser reasons in her decision: "This is also because the Ministry of Defense did not present to the Legal Adviser to the Government reasons justifying a change in the legal rules regarding appointments during an election period."

In August 2021, with the termination of the position of Shimon Elkabats - the former commander of the IDF's Gali, Galit Altstein was appointed by Defense Minister Gantz as acting commander of the station. Her appointment was extended several times until this period, following the decision of the legal advisor, Altstein will continue in the position until a new commander is appointed in the next government.
The "Success" association, which as a result of its petition to the High Court, was appointed the search committee for the Gali IDF commander, said: The association wishes to express disappointment with the position it formulated, which, as far as is known, even contradicts the position of the search committee and the position of the legal advisor to the security system.
Unfortunately, the ombudsman's position did not include the full range of considerations regarding the appointment as presented by Succeed."
