Eisenkot Warns Against Netanyahu’s Military Adventurism During Transition

According to Alhurra, as caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fights to remain in power while Gadi Eisenkot attempts to form a new government, concerns are rising regarding the impact of political calculations on Israeli national security. Eisenkot warned Netanyahu in a letter against using security forces for unnecessary operations during the transition period, labeling it a threat to democracy. Reports suggest Netanyahu is seeking to conduct an operation against Iran, despite objections from defense officials, including Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. Meanwhile, Aharon Bregman, a war studies researcher, suggests Netanyahu might be interested in a 'small war' with Iran to foster national unity or pressure Eisenkot. Conversely, former Communications Minister Ayoub Kara dismissed these claims, asserting that security decisions are based on genuine threats and coordinated with security institutions.
