Eisenkot demands Netanyahu refrain from unnecessary military operations
Eisenkot demands Netanyahu avoid nonessential military operations during the transition, while the PMO accuses him of politicizing national security.
MK Gadi Eisenkot has sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to exercise extra caution and responsibility in making security and national decisions until a new government is formed following the October 27 elections. Eisenkot also requested Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara to intervene to ensure he receives regular security briefings from the prime minister.
These requests came after a dispute between Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir over potential military action in Iran resurfaced. The Prime Minister's Office defended Netanyahu's security decisions, stating that they were based solely on security considerations and in full coordination with the security establishment.
They also criticized Eisenkot's letter as an "irresponsible move that publicly discusses sensitive security matters."
