Today it was revealed in Yedioth Ahronoth that even before the late Givati fighter Niv Loveton committed suicide following threats from intelligence coordinators in the IDF who demanded that he become an intelligence source, the commander of the MPI Beer Sheva decided to promote the coordinator who recruited Loveton and gave him command The intelligence team, although not certified, and that three weeks after the suicide, the officer sent the coordinator for a certification test to retroactively train the promotion – but the coordinator failed. Their desire to find the truth and justice within the bereavement: “There are two disasters here for us. “We have not yet digested the first one, and we are unfortunately on the verge of a media campaign,” they said.
The father and mother of the late Niv. A shaky story, the suicide of Niv that is causing the waves of the page so far. This morning it was announced that the removal of the commander of the MPI It is alleged that there is no connection between the two. The officer promoted one of the intelligence centers that ignored Niv’s distress. We have been updated.
Michal: “Niv enlisted in the IDF, in the army of our country to be a fighter and was at the height of his commitment and values. Even before we have had time to digest the loss we find ourselves in a real investigation that apparently did not take place elsewhere. We raised things some of which have not yet reached you, but it was clear that there were two armies here. An army of worthy and amazing people and values that Niv enlisted in and there is another army here in parallel. The story does not surprise us because we wanted to find out how it happened, exhaust the law and fix what is broken so that it never happens to anyone. “Pretty soon we realized they understood what really happened, took responsibility and started correcting among themselves, the outgoing head of the ACA and there are others who told otherwise and tried to whitewash and hide the truth. Where is our responsibility as a reformed society to bring justice to criminals?
I read this morning that you tried to tell the judge about the accumulated information and she did not want to hear from you and hurried to cancel the dismissal. it happened?
Eran: “In June, we forwarded an amended petition to the High Court through the office of Adv. Ben Tzur. Last September, we forwarded materials to the State Attorney’s Office that indicate that the commander of the Beer Sheva MPC is involved and also knowledgeable. A month and a half ago, a similar incident happened with another soldier and the same commander summoned the commander of the Be’er Sheva MPI and warned them that a disaster would happen. Stop it. We have more information from another soldier. “Recruit him alone, alone.”
In the end there is no child because of the incident. Where you are located?
Michal: “We are not yet digesting that Niv will not return.”
Eran: “In September, when we transferred the recordings, the State Attorney’s Office sent a letter to the High Court a month later that they were opening an investigation and requesting a 60-day postponement. After 60 days there was a development in the investigation and asked for another 60 days. Why did you not pass it on to the judge? Why did you not ask for it to be stopped until the High Court determines the command or criminal responsibility of the commander of the Beer Sheva MPC? We sought to aggravate the punishments with the coordinators. Why hurry? Why not wait? It is very clear in the commander’s document that the commanders’ responsibility is. “When you take such a child and threaten him for two hours, part of that threat included taking a good friend of his who lives in the kibbutz and telling him that if he does not sign then you are his friend in prison it is blackmail, it is not recruitment.”
There are a lot of details here, for example that the battalion commander warned the MPC a month and a half before the incident, the MPC promoted the same intelligence coordinator who ignored Niv’s distress without going through the appropriate courses. There is an accumulation of details.
Michal: “What they did was make us as parents feel more guilty, at least they tried. There is a very humiliating and shameful matter here in the way they behaved in front of us, very much.”
Eran: “There is a base commander here under which soldiers work and he has a clear duty that he must fulfill.”
There is a commission of inquiry.
Eran: “The committee completed the conclusions, they submitted the findings to the chief of staff.”
Can you tell us about Niv’s character?
Michal: “Niv was very strong, I have a lot of material about his personality and who he was. More will hear. But these amazing omissions, it is not perceived at all that we have to face such a thing. It is indigestible at all. There are two disasters here for us. You We have not yet digested the first one, and we are unfortunately on the verge of a media campaign. “
What do you want to have in the conclusions and results of the committee?
Michal: “First of all, truth and justice, this is what should be the basis of who is supposed to tell the story and take care of it properly. Otherwise, how do you get up in the morning at all? To which country? How are the children raised? To what values? What should I teach my children? “.
