Eisenkot demands security briefings from Netanyahu, urges PM's restraint in military decisions
- On Wednesday, Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot sent a formal letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging restraint in national security decisions, warning that military action could undermine Israeli democracy.
- Tasked by President Isaac Herzog on Sunday to form a government, Eisenkot has 28 days to navigate the political deadlock while Netanyahu remains caretaker prime minister following the 26th Knesset swearing-in.
- A Tuesday report highlighted a dispute between Netanyahu and IDF Chief Eyal Zamir over potential military action in Iran. Eisenkot warned that "deploying security forces in the absence of a direct and immediate threat could have devastating consequences."
- The PMO responded by labeling Eisenkot's letter "an irresponsible move that publicly discusses sensitive security matters," defending Netanyahu's decisions as based solely on security considerations.
- Seeking oversight, Eisenkot requested Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara intervene to ensure regular security briefings, citing that only 46 Knesset members support Netanyahu and questioning the delayed Defense Committee convening.
