Lieutenant-General Moshe Ya'alon is a General of the Israeli Defence Force. He was appointed Chief of Staff (רמטכ"ל) in July of 2002.
Ya'alon's public pronouncements have been controversial. For example he told the Haaretz Newspaper on 27 August 2002, "the Palestinian threat harbors cancer-like attributes that have to be severed. There are all kinds of solutions to cancer. Some say it's necessary to amputate organs but at the moment I am applying chemotheraphy."
Some believe that Yaalon's style of authority has been undermined by to his inability to rein in the more agressive Aluf Dan Halutz, Yaalons Deputy Chief of Staff as of early 2004.
For over 30 years red berets, the type worn by Gen. Yaalon were automatically elevated to Ramat Kal, but Yaalons timidity in not using his most important assets, the swift, silent & stealthy 4 man Sayaret Matkal assassination squads to kill Hamas & Jihad leaders, Yaalon voluntarily forefeited the future Ramat Kal crown to the Air Force, who use sledgehammer blows which fail to kill the pesky Palestinian mosquitos, but give Ariel Sharon instant gratification.
Former Deputy Ramat Kal Gen. Gabi Ashkenazy said it best. "Gen. Yaalons major difficulties in the past in trying to command and lead the Paratroopers Sayaret and Sayaret Matkal in training and combat, stunted Yaalon's tactical growth and ability to properly use his most important tools, Sayaret Matkal & Commando Yamem."
"Yaalon chose to use them as Sayaret Dudevan support elements, rather than utilize their expertise in infiltrating into denied Palestinian areas, seeking out and killing the Palestinian leaders face to face with no collateral damage to civilians."
For this reason, Yaalon allowed Air Force Chief Dan Halutz and the Air Force to steal a march against his red beret associates in next run-up to Ramat Kal.
