Herzi Halevi, the philosopher general with October 7 on his conscience

TEL AVIV — There is a photo, from January 16, 2023. “Herzi the philosopher” is from behind, with a red beret on his head. They have just appointed him chief of staff of the IDF, the Israeli armed forces. The West Bank is seething, the Iranian nuclear issue is worrying and he will have to deal with the veterans enraged by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s justice reform.
