Israel: IDF Chief Dan Halutz Resigns

January 16, 2007 23 02 GMT

Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz resigned Jan. 16, two weeks after promising to step down if the Winograd Committee found that he had mishandled the 2006 conflict with Hezbollah. Maj. Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky, a former Golani infantry brigade commander, will serve as temporary replacement for Halutz, over whose resignation Prime Minister Ehud Olmert expressed regret.

You go next Olmert
