It wasn't the first time that Levine criticized the army leadership over Galili. He previously blasted the army's "forgiveness" toward sex offenders.
Galili reportedly is still seeking a senior position despite the Supreme Court's recent decision barring his promotion because he sexually harassed a young female soldier under his command.
Galili was expected to meet with Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz on Wednesday to discuss Galili's military career. He reportedly wants Mofaz to name him corps commander and is willing to forgo the upgraded rank that goes with the job. The Supreme Court decision stated that Galili couldn't be promoted, but could continue serving in the army.
Defense Minister Moshe Arens said Tuesday that he plans to talk to Mofaz about Galili's future.
With Mofaz at his side during a tour of an air force base Tuesday, Arens said he had yet to consult with him about Galili's fate.
"I have not yet been able to discuss this matter with the chief of general staff but I think that this sort of consultation is essential," he said, adding that he has yet to hear Mofaz's opinion on the matter.
Mofaz has repeatedly refused to comment on the issue.
