Moshe Ya’alon tells Channel 12 that he will not apologize for his comments accusing Israel of carrying out “ethnic cleansing” in the northern Gaza Strip, and counters the oft-repeated statement that the IDF is “the most moral army in the world.”
In the sit-down interview, Ya’alon says, “I don’t say anymore [that the IDF is] the most moral army in the world,” precisely because of “the interference of politicians, who are corrupting the army.”
“It’s not the most moral army today,” he repeats. “And it’s hard for me to say that.”
