Report of rift between Netanyahu and army chief denied
- On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz dismissed media reports of a rift with army chief Eyal Zamir, labeling allegations "entirely baseless and false" just 24 hours before Tuesday's election.
- Sunday's Israel Channel 12 report alleged a confrontation between Netanyahu and Zamir over proposed military action against Iran that critics suggested aimed to postpone Tuesday's parliamentary vote for political gain.
- Netanyahu rejected the claims as "nonsense" during a TV interview, while reports indicated Zamir had requested detailed discussions and signed legal authorization before executing any directive; Katz insisted there was "complete" coordination between political leadership and the IDF.
- Former army chief Gadi Eisenkot warned Netanyahu not to place "political interests above the state's security," while Avigdor Liberman demanded the Attorney General open a criminal investigation for alleged treason.
- Final surveys show neither Netanyahu's bloc nor his rivals are on track for a majority as voters head to polls tomorrow; President Donald Trump stated there would be no attack on Iran overnight, addressing regional tensions.
