At the main ceremony at the Western Wall this evening, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said : "Your Excellencies, we are constantly aware of the weight of the responsibility placed on our shoulders: We will act according to the IDF's moral compass, while adhering to the mission, striving for victory, and upholding the laws of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. The IDF, the people's army, is committed to fulfilling its missions, and at this time, more than ever, we need everyone. This is an operational necessity and at the same time a national need for equality and unity of destiny. I call on everyone to enter under the stretcher in the shared historic journey of our people. For independence, freedom, and security. I have no doubt that the partnership will be in line with the special diversity that has characterized the people of Israel since time immemorial."
