Defense Minister Benny Gantz decided on Thursday to extend Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi’s tenure as head of the Israel Defense Forces for an additional, fourth year, pending final approval from the government.
Gantz notified Kohavi, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit that he will bring the move for cabinet approval in the coming weeks.
The position of IDF chief of staff is a three-year post, though it can be extended by one or, on rare occasions, two years. Most army chiefs serve for four years.
