"If there is no operation, then there is defense. This is a very complex task that we must not take for granted."
"There is no army in the world that deals with six arenas at the same time," Kochavi added.
"Six arenas that are all active and offensive operational activity needs to be carried out - there is no such army. We always wage wars on this matter. Most armies do not fight, the IDF is one of the few in the world that fights every night."

The Chief of Staff emphasized that "there is another special thing in the IDF: compulsory army, long service, men and women, a democratic state. In the end, these are very heavy challenges, because the soldiers are young. Many of the soldiers are permanent. The IDF is not without problems, there are gaps that demand improvement".
Among other things, Kochavi referred to the significant impact of the education system on recruiting for the IDF: "Everything starts with the education system.
The motivation for combat service has increased greatly in the last two years.
We crossed the 70% mark."
