Eisenkot Tells Netanyahu To Hold Off on Military Escalations During Transition Period
Eisenkot says 46 lawmakers still back Netanyahu and warns military action without an immediate threat could damage democracy and public trust.
- 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.
