Netanyahu briefs Eisenkot on security after Yashar party leader said he was denied briefings
The meeting came a day after Eisenkot asked A-G Gali Baharav-Miara to intervene, saying Netanyahu had denied him the briefings while the government serves in a caretaker capacity.
On Thursday, Yashar party leader MK Gadi Eisenkot convened with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to receive a diplomatic and security briefing at the Prime Minister's Office. This meeting took place following Eisenkot's persistent demands for security briefings, which he alleged were previously denied. Eisenkot emphasized the importance of these briefings for maintaining effective oversight and safeguarding national security interests, stating they are required under law for opposition leaders during caretaker governments.
The meeting also occurred amid growing tensions between Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir over potential military action against Iran. Eisenkot had previously appealed to the Attorney-General to intervene in ensuring he receives regular security briefings. The PMO defended Netanyahu's security decisions, stating they were grounded in security considerations and coordinated with the security establishment.
