Israeli President Isaac Herzog expressed deep concern over the current situation in Israel at a ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War.
"Half a century after the Yom Kippur War, Israeli society is divided and polarized, and the crisis that has accompanied us for nine months — is tearing us apart, directly harming society, the economy and security," Herzog said at the Latrun Memorial outside of Jerusalem.
Following the Yom Kippur War of 1973 – one of the most existential wars Israel has ever fought against its enemies – Herzog warned that Israel must take "urgent steps" to resolve the current crisis and to bridge the rifts in Israeli society to keep Israel safe. Israel Defense Forces Chief-of-Staff Herzi Halevi, speaking at the same ceremony, warned that the IDF is not able to function the way it should when Israeli society is so deeply divided.
