I expect my fighters to behave appropriately despite pressure and provocations. Unnecessary physical or verbal violence - this is not our way.

I support the soldiers of the IDF, in any use of force required to remove a threat, at the same time we will not accept cases in which soldiers will go beyond and use their power and authority unnecessarily."
