He was appointed Chief of Staff (רמטכ"ל) in July of 2002.
Ya'alon's public pronouncements have been controversial. For example he told the Haaretz Newspaper on 27 August 2002, "the Palestinian threat harbors cancer-like attributes that have to be severed. There are all kinds of solutions to cancer. Some say it's necessary to amputate organs but at the moment I am applying chemotheraphy."
Some believe that Yaalon's style of authority has been undermined by to his inability to rein in the more agressive Aluf Dan Halutz, Yaalons Deputy Chief of Staff as of early 2004.
