"Resignation decision from the second-in-command of the Israeli army."

Israeli Deputy Chief of Staff Amir Baram wanted to resign, citing the decrease in the intensity of the conflicts in Gaza and the limited contribution he provided to the army. Baram's resignation letter was leaked to the Israeli press.

"I HAVE NO INTENTION OF SERVING IN THIS POSITION FOR THREE OR FOUR YEARS"

In his resignation letter submitted to Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Baram reminded that he accepted the request to extend his term, which is normally two years, by six months due to previous attacks on Gaza. Baram stated that he is willing to take on any role in the defense field in the future, saying, "I have no intention of serving in this position for three or four years."

"WILL CARRY OUT ANY ASSIGNED DUTY"

In a statement from the Israeli army, it was noted that Chief of Staff Halevi appreciated Baram for the important duties he undertook, while it was also reported that "(Baram) will carry out any duty requested or required of him."

CREATED A "SHOCK EFFECT"

In a report by Yediot Ahronot, it was claimed that Baram told Halevi on Friday that he wanted to resign due to their disagreement. The report also alleged that Baram's resignation request created a "shock effect" in the General Staff.
