Defense Minister Israel Katz, in response to the statements of Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Ishr Party, accused him and his allies of spreading false information about the dispute between Israeli political and military officials over Iran, and emphasized that the army participates in all decisions. Katz wrote on Channel X that the IDF fully participated in the "great achievements" against the Islamic Republic and "is now present in all discussions and will implement any decision that is required." Israel's Defense Minister added: "Eisenkot's request to the senior military officials not to obey the orders of the Prime Minister, the Defense Minister and the responsible security institutions on the grounds that they have his support, is an undemocratic position and far from reality." Eisenkot said to the commanders of the security institutions and government service officials: "Remember that you are only in the service of the state and the interests of the citizens of Israel. Resist any pressure. You have my full support."
