Druse soldier asks not to partake in evacuation

The IDF got its first request not to participate in the evacuation of Gaza settlers from a non-Jewish soldier on Thursday, IDF officials said.

Druse soldier Sgt. Timor Abdallah of the Herev batallion wrote a letter, which he sent directly to IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz, in which he cited motives of conscientious objection.

"When my colleagues and I are demanded to participate in operations whose objective is to defend the country and its citizens, we feel obliged to participate," Abdallah's letter was quoted by Army Radio. "But when we are asked to participate in an operation against the people we are meant to defend - our consciences would tremble eternally."

An IDF spokesperson said that the soldier's letter had not yet arrived at the Chief of Staff's office. However, regardless, the army would not accept any refusal of orders, senior officials stressed.

From JPost:

Golani will not directly evacuate Gaza

The Golani Brigade will not directly participate in the evacuation of settlements in Gaza and northern Samaria this summer, according to a decision made by the IDF late Tuesday evening.

The national religious newspaper Basheva reported that the decision was made out of concern that the brigade's large contingent of religious soldiers and officers may cause it to be a hotbed for refusing orders and lack of motivation.

IDF sources rejected this reasoning. They said, rather, that Golani would be posted in the outer ring to secure the disengagement process from terror threats, Army Radio reported.

For example:

Former Mossad head Ephraim HaLevy:

"After the disengagement, Israel will face a diplomatic crisis the likes of which we have not known for years."
