According to Israel's Channel 14, following recent tensions between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot, Defense Minister Israel Katz declared that there is full consensus between the political and military echelons regarding dealing with the Iranian threat. During a multi-front situation assessment attended by Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi (noted as Eyal Zamir in source) and senior security officials, Katz emphasized that he, Netanyahu, and the Chief of Staff see eye-to-eye on all aspects of the Iranian issue. He added that decisions are made with responsibility and full cooperation, with Israel's security being the primary consideration. These statements come as Eisenkot had demanded restrictions on security decision-making during the current period, a request the Prime Minister's Office dismissed as an attempt to politicize national security issues. Netanyahu and Eisenkot met today in Jerusalem to discuss the matter.
