Major-General Benny Ganz (Archive). del.icio.us Digg It!  new Last update - 15:23 22/10/2007 Barak okays Major-General Ganz as next military attache to U.S. By Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondent tags: Israel, IDF, Washington  Major-General Benny Ganz, currently overall army ground forces commander, is to be Israel's next military attache to Washington, under a series of senior military appointments approved Monday by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, acting on recommendations by Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi. During his career, Ganz has served as IDF northern front commander, northern corps commander, Judea and Samaria Brigade commander, and the head of the liaison unit to Lebanon. Under the new rotation, Ganz, will replaced at the Ground Forces Command by Major-General Avi Mizrahi. Mizrahi, now commander of the IDF Logistics branch, will be succeeded by Brigadier-General Danny Biton, who will also be promoted to the rank of major-general.

At the beginning of the month, Major-General Dan Harel, overall Gaza Strip commander during the disengagement, was named to succeed Major-General Moshe Kaplinski as deputy chief of staff. Harel served until recently as military attache to Washington. He was to have replaced Kaplinski in September, but the step was deferred, in part due to tensions with Syria. Beginning next March, Kaplinski is likely to study at Harvard University. In the future, he may contend for the position of chief of staff.
