Jerusalem Post Staff – July 16, 2025
Nine members of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee sent a letter calling for an immediate discussion on what they described as a sharp and troubling rise in suicides within the IDF.
An immediate discussion must take place on the rise in suicides within the IDF, nine MKs wrote to Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chairman.
Tuesday’s letter, initiated by MK Merav Michaeli, follows reports from Army Radio, which revealed that the IDF Manpower Directorate has refused to provide updated figures on suicides in the military.
It reported that despite repeated inquiries over recent months, – the IDF has insisted it will only release the data in January, forcing the public and lawmakers to wait another six months for official figures.
‘Refusal to disclose data raises concern, undermines public trust in IDF’
“The very refusal to disclose the data raises concern and undermines public trust in the IDF,” the lawmakers wrote.
“We cannot wait half a year for the data to be published. In a reality where IDF soldiers, both men and women, are under unprecedented mental strain, there is an urgent need to clarify the situation and ensure that all measures are taken to prevent the unnecessary loss of lives of soldiers who need support and assistance.”
The letter highlighted a broader trend of growing concern about morale and mental health within the IDF since the start of the war.
According to figures cited in the letter, there were 38 cases of suicide between 2023 and 2024, and 21 in 2025 so far. The past two months alone have seen a 70% increase in suicides compared to the same period last year.
In their appeal, the MKs stated that these developments represent a significant erosion of discipline and cohesion within the IDF’s combat units, including elite forces that have faced sustained operational demands for months. The letter criticized what the lawmakers called a pattern of concealment by military authorities, warning that a lack of transparency risks further undermining public confidence.
“It is unacceptable to fight half a year of war while concealing the numbers,” the MKs wrote. “There are dozens of soldiers currently missing, and it is time to clarify the full extent of this troubling phenomenon and take steps to restore discipline and address the mental health needs of soldiers.”
The MKs called for a full, immediate update on the scope of suicides in the army and a discussion on measures to support soldiers’ mental health and prevent further tragedies.
The letter was signed by MKs Merav Michaeli, Sharon Nir, Hili Tropper, Ohad Tal, Limor Son Har-Melech, Ram Ben-Barak, Yoav Segalovitz, Amit Halevi, and Moshe Tur-Paz. The IDF has not yet publicly responded on the issue.

when i was in ireland during the troubles
Mossad would sell us big bags of ecstasy tablets to sell and raise money
they would also sell them to the other siode3 so they could do the same
Worried about kikes and their mental health??? All kikes are mental cases.
LOL..
I think this imbecile has got it all back to front..it’s because the jewes are plagued with congenital mental illness that you actually have this fucking mess…
the war is actually a symptom of jewish mental illness..not its cause…
pick up a copy of the babble and read jew to own a me…it’s all there..
IDF suicides???
The MORE the MERRIER!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This “mental illness” among the tribe that occupies the Middle East is a concern to no one, not even to themselves. There is and has always been a deep mental illness among them, it goes back thousands of years.it is best to keep them all there, dont let them out.
Let’s cal it the “settlers” illness , give em weapons, protect their airspace surrounding them, because as the ADL just said …half the world hates us” . Only the mentally ill could come up with psychotic ideas about being chosen, or the stories of crucifying gods, or killing babies straight out of incubators, and the rest of the stories they make up.
Too bad its all BS. Fantasy news to convince the world that Jews are ‘suffering’ and there’s a ‘war’ in Gaza.
A dead soldier can’t murder people in their own homes and on their own streets anymore. These IDF soldiers must see no other way to escape their own part in the slaughter.
The Jews are criminals more than nutters. Their very shaky relationship with truth is all about the criminal’s need for lies
It proves how arrogant Israelis are, thinking themselves beyond justice after the Yanks did this kind of mistreatment in Abu Ghraib and Bagram, yet here we are a decade or so later and the Jews are doing the very same thing. That soldier arrested in Belgium was right to be scared because even if he doesn’t go to jail or even goes to trial, that arrest for investigation into war crimes shook the sh!t out of him. It proves Israel is losing its immunity through its excesses as many around the world want war crimes charges.
