Channel 12: Netanyahu and Zamir entered into an unprecedented confrontation over the operation against Iran "An unprecedented confrontation" is taking place between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. According to the Israeli television channel Channel 12, the reason was the order that Zamir received from the political leadership to carry out a military operation related to Iran a few days before the parliamentary elections scheduled for Tuesday, October 27. According to the TV channel, Zamir opposes the implementation of this order. He demanded an in-depth professional discussion before its implementation, and also asked Netanyahu for "signed legal documents" confirming the legitimacy of the order. The conflict reached its climax in the last 24 hours. During the discussion at the Palmahim base, the atmosphere in the room was described as "extremely sour". There is a growing concern in Israel's security establishment that the political leadership will be able to exploit the Iranian issue for political gain ahead of the elections. Military sources warn that such an action could lead to an "immediate conflict with Iran at a sensitive and dramatic moment", while creating a risk of miscalculation and rapid escalation. An anonymous senior security official described Zamir's role these days as follows: "History will not forget the role played by Zamir in recent days." At the same time, political sources quoted by Channel 12 deny this information, calling it "a complete lie." The station states that its report was published under the restrictions of Israeli military censorship.
