Please join host Amir Oren for the first of a two-part interview with IDF Maj.Gen.(res) and Former Corps Commander Gershon Hacohen, who is known throughout the Israeli military community as uniquely thoughtful, articulate - and opinionated.
As one of the first officers of a religious-upbringing to reach the top tier of the IDF, Hacohen served in the 1973 War first in the infantry and later in the armored units, while rising to command a brigade, a division and a corps - the largest army formation.
Maj. Gen. (res) Hacohen also served as IDF Doctrine Chief as well as Head of the National Security College, where Colonels and their civilian counterparts are groomed for higher ranks.
Hacohen’s division headquarters also notably performed a major role in implementing the 2005 Gaza Disengagement under the government of then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
