Tensions rose again between the Prime Minister and the Chief of Staff over Israel's options regarding Iran.
Disputes resurfaced at the top of the Israeli government over the options Israel faces in dealing with Iran, at a sensitive time when it is unclear which government will be in power, how long the transitional government will last and whether the prime minister will be replaced.
Chief of Staff Zamir believes that the actions the Prime Minister is seeking to take are not cautious enough and could lead to a confrontation with Iran, at a time when caution is required, especially since the American partner does not seem inclined to another confrontation.
