The opening as it read in 2005
A former Israeli General, he commanded the 7th Israeli Brigade during the Yom Kippur War in 1973 , he oversaw the defence of Golan Heights under Syrian attack. In late-summer of 1981, ben Gal was replaced as commander of the Northern Command and was replaced by General Amir Drori In June 1997 he was called to testify in a libel suit that Ariel Sharon brought against the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz for their claim that he had concealed his plans for an operation into Lebanon in 1982 - a time during which Ben Gal was still leading the Northern Command. His testimony at trial however, contradicted his earlier statements given at Tel Aviv University where he stated that the greatest problem with the Lebanon War was the ""secret, unapproved plan of the defense minister and chief of staff."" The following month Ha'aretz requested the Attorney General investigate the possibility that Ben Gal had given false testimony in court, in exchange for business favours from Sharon. The complaint noted that shortly before his appearance at the trial, Ben Gal was sent by Sharon to explore the possibility of a large natural gas deal in Russia . In 2001 , Ben Gal reportedly submit an application to train the Congo Army in Israel Ben Gal currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors for Israel Aircraft Industries and serves on the board for the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism1
