IDF Spokesperson's Unit pushes back after former soldier joins Breaking the Silence
IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin responded to the announcement with an urgent letter sent to unit commanders, saying that the soldier's remarks "do not reflect" the unit and those within it.
A former IDF Spokesperson's Unit member, Ayelet Kroizer, revealed her intention to join Breaking the Silence, an organization that alleges war crimes against Israel. In a social media post, Kroizer expressed her discontent with the unit's handling of information and its focus on public image over transparency. She claimed that her military service exposed her to the realities of the West Bank and Gaza, as well as the ways IDF Spokesperson manipulates public perception.
IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin responded to Kroizer's announcement by issuing a strong letter to unit commanders, emphasizing that her remarks do not represent the values, ethics, or diversity within the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.
