According to Channel 12, an unprecedented dispute between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir over a proposed military operation against Iran may lead to an immediate confrontation. Zamir refused to continue this operation without a comprehensive security assessment, legal explanations and written approval from the political leadership in Israel. Military officials fear that Netanyahu may use the tensions with Iran to gain a political advantage ahead of the Israeli elections, which could lead to a dangerous escalation through miscalculation. "History will not forget Zamir's role in the last few days," said a senior Israeli security official.
