A summary of the meeting, which was distributed today (Wednesday) as an update to reserve personnel in the various squadrons, and includes the main points of what was said during it and in the open conversation with the Chief of Staff , came to Maariv.



About 20 representatives of the flight squadrons, the control system and the control rooms participated in the meeting with the Chief of Staff. According to the document, at the beginning of the conversation the Chief of Staff clarified several messages about the importance of the reserve system, and the importance of acting responsibly and not causing damage.



Halevi added that "the deterrent power that the Air Force produces, and its power, are what keep the Middle East aligned, in a reality where there are many enemies in the region for the State of Israel."

It was also written that "the Chief of Staff immediately promised to talk to political and media officials and to warn them about the way they talk about the reserve servants."

The reservists who spoke during the meeting represented themselves, but also reflected the situation in the various squadrons in the force.

Each reservist who spoke, and is mentioned in the summary of the meeting, began his remarks with a brief overview of the situation in his squadron.

The picture that emerged from these talks is that the situation in most squadrons is troubling, and becoming more and more serious.

The officers who told about the situation, stated that in most squadrons there is a desire to produce active operations, which in the meantime are still stopped at the squadron level, and the representatives who sit in it.



From the details presented by the representatives of the reservists, it also appears that there are differences between the squadrons - but this is a very significant scope, and of all of them, a significant majority of many aircrew members say explicitly that they will not continue to fly if the reform passes in its current form.



The reservists, so it was written in the summary of the meeting that was distributed, talked about various issues - but it is evident that all of them are very committed to the Air Force and the country and understand the responsibilities they have in the current situation.

Some of them feel, according to their description, that "we are in a war for the home and the country", and "are ready to do everything they can to save it".

Not politics and not what he thinks about things, just security.

Every decision he makes is based only on whether it contributes to or harms security.

With this card, he will use it and reflect this picture of the situation he heard above."
