MK Avi Maoz from the Noam faction called this evening (Saturday) to close the advisory unit to the Chief of Staff on gender issues, because according to him it "introduces into the army values that are foreign to the IDF". Maoz said these things on the program "Meet the Press". The
future opposition attacked Maoz's statement was harsh. MK Sharon Nir (Yisrael Beitenu), Brigadier General Bami'l who herself served as an advisor to the Chief of Staff on gender matters herself, said in response: "What drives Avi Maoz is misogyny. Since 2016, MK Maoz, who came from Rabbi Tau's seminary, cannot bear that there are strong women in positions of influence in the IDF and is now calling for the complete abolition of the Yohalam unit.
We will not remain silent, the Yohalam unit is a model unit that promotes the IDF, enables the exploitation of human capital and encourages the promotion of equal opportunities for women."
He is expected to be appointed deputy minister.

Bish Atid responded: "I wonder what Likud voters, mothers of IDF soldiers and fighters, who are sending their daughters to the base tomorrow morning, think.
Is this what you wanted?
Is that why you voted for Likud?
So that dark politicians will tell the army how to treat female soldiers?
we are here.
We will fight and we won't let that happen." As part of the coalition shakeup to form the government, Maoz is expected to be appointed deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Office.
