Today (Wednesday) Another young woman has made allegations against Brig. Gen. Ofek Buchris after he supposedly harassed her several times. Earlier today, the first complainant's father has spoken on behalf of his daughter in a special press conference. The daughter was allegedly attacked by Buchris four years ago, when she was under his command.
"We are very surprised and of course support our daughter's version. Our daughter managed to carry on with her life, and deal with the damage caused to her, with the assistance of treatment," the father said.
"Our daughter was happy before she joined the army. A parent who sends his daughter to the army expects that she will be protected. Now, every parent will check if Israeli officers have the right moral standards and are fit to lead the soldiers," he concluded.
By order of IDF Chief Gadi Eizenkot, Buchris has been suspended from his position as commander of the IDF's Command and Staff College. He is suspected of five rape counts and sodomy, and has denied all the allegations against him, saying there was never any sexual contact between him and the complainants.
