Report on Confrontation Between Prime Minister and Chief of Staff

In depth

According to a report by Channel 12, a confrontation unprecedented in scope developed over the past day between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Zamir over an operation that could lead to a confrontation with Iran. According to Behadrei Haredim, the dispute reached its peak over the past day against the background of concern about an escalation with Iran ahead of the elections.

According to Behadrei Haredim, sources in the military fear an attempt to exploit the Iran issue for political purposes, a claim that is firmly rejected at the political level. According to N12, opposition leader Lapid attacked the chief of staff and said: "We must send him home."
