A conflict broke out in Israel over a possible military operation against Iran two days before the parliamentary elections. According to Israel's Channel 12, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir entered into a serious confrontation over a military order whose implementation could trigger a new conflict with Iran. Zamir demanded a detailed discussion of the operation as well as written legal approval with the signatures of the political leadership, before continuing with it. The channel's sources claim that the military command fears that the Iranian threat will be used for political purposes ahead of the elections on October 27. At the same time, the army does not see the need for immediate action and believes that the issue should be discussed with the American side after the vote. Netanyahu rejected the reports of a conflict: "There was no conflict between us." On Monday, October 26, Defense Minister Israel Katz also denied the publication and said that Israel does not intend to be the first to attack Iran before the elections. He called the accusations against the government an attempt by the opposition to discredit its leadership. It was not announced what type of operation was being discussed. Channel 12 states that the publication was approved by military censorship. Sources: N12 - preliminary investigation | N12 - New details and a rebuttal of Katz's post written with an AI assistant.
