🔶 Eisenkot warned Netanyahu against unilateral action against Iran.
Gadi Eisenkot, who took on the task of forming a government in Israel's captivity, warned Benjamin Netanyahu, the country's prime minister, to refrain from making dangerous military decisions until the new government takes office.
In the names he published on Channel X, while warning against unilateral military actions, Eisenkot wrote: "Until the new government is sworn in, Netanyahu must refrain from taking dangerous steps [against Iran]."
In recent days, unverified reports have been published in the media indicating that Netanyahu is looking to start another military operation against the Islamic Republic despite the concerns of the army commanders.
Eisenkot stated in his letter: "The head of state [Netanyahu] should not bring the heads of the security institutions into a serious conflict and leave them in doubt and uncertainty about what is expected of them." According to him, the action of the security forces without an immediate and direct threat could have "devastating consequences for the captive democracy and the citizens' trust in the government institutions".
