IAF Brigadier General Natan Yisraeli has been meeting frequently with LGBTI-identified soldiers to discuss their needs and how the IAF could become a more LGBTI-friendly environment.
The IAF has set up support groups for LGBTI soldiers at its Tel Aviv headquarters. There, a series of meetings with prominent LGBTI figureheads help the soldiers get to know one another.
‘We know how to provide unique solutions for transgender soldiers who serve in the IDF [Israeli Defense Force], without harming the rest of the staff or mission readiness,’ a senior air force officer told Israel National News. ‘There are quite a few pilots who came out of the closet without difficulty, including combat ones.’
The IAF has reportedly always been more liberal-minded when it comes to alternative lifestyles. For instance, they showcased a same-sex couple during 2017’s Family Day, despite protests.
