Officials from the military report that the Chief of Staff has been attempting to set up a meeting with the Defense Minister for over a week to approve key appointments, but the minister has not made time for it. In response, the Chief of Staff decided to proceed with discussing the appointments and plans to present them for approval afterward, according to a recent report.

Sources close to the Defense Minister dispute this timeline, stating that the Chief of Staff's office only reached out last Friday with a request for an urgent meeting, which the minister could not accommodate due to prior commitments. The minister reportedly offered to meet later in the week instead.

Additionally, those close to the minister emphasized that he prefers to thoroughly review appointments and does not agree to approve them in brief meetings.
