Changing of Guard at IDF

In a smooth transition, so unlike the chaotic political scene, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi took over the Chief of General Staff position from his fellow Paratrooper Aviv Kochavi. All speakers in successive ceremonies in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv mentioned the Iranian threat as a top priority, but also mentioned what should be obvious but is not in 2023 Israel - the principle of unity of command, cabinet to defense minister to Chief of Staff. What does it all portend for Israel’s military under Halevi’s stewardship?
