Israel's Channel 12 reported on an "unprecedented confrontation" that broke out between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir over an order that the military believes could spark a sudden war in Iran just days before the legislative elections in Israel on October 27. The Israeli channel explained that Zamir received an instruction from the Netanyahu government in recent days and asked for an in-depth discussion and "signed legal documentation" from the political leadership before continuing. Against this background, a senior security official warned that the step "could lead to a flash confrontation with Iran at a sensitive and dramatic moment, and produce a miscalculation. However, the report did not reveal the essence of the order, and noted that its publication was subject to Israeli military censorship. She also cited sources who feared that the government was seeking to "use the Iran issue for political momentum" ahead of the elections.
