Aharon Haliva (Hebrew: אהרון חליוה; born October 12, 1967) is a former Israeli Major general (Aluf) who commanded the Israel Defense Forces' Military Intelligence Directorate.
Later on he led the Efraim Territorial Brigade in counter-terror operations and commanded the IDF's Officer Candidate School (Bahad 1).
At the beginning of 2012 he told reserve officers in a closed conversation (referring to the 2011 Israeli social justice protests) "Because you demonstrated in Tel Aviv, the IDF has no money for missiles".
[6] On March 28, 2016, he was promoted to the rank of Major General (Aluf), and on July 13, he assumed his position as head of the Technological and Logistics Directorate.
In November 2017, he forbade the holding of Torah lessons that took place outside Camp Ariel Sharon, a move that drew protest from hundreds of soldiers who turned to the Chief of Staff, Gadi Eisenkot.
[11][12] In his new position, he claimed that the Abraham Accords stem from the need of the population of the countries in the Middle East to improve their standard of living and deal with the climate crisis.
[21] Haliva lives in North Tel Aviv, is married a second time and has five children, including two from his previous marriage.
