Defense Minister Israel Katz sharply criticized Gadi Eisenkot, accusing him of advocating a return to pre-October 7th policies that would leave northern Israeli communities vulnerable. Katz stated that Eisenkot supports the withdrawal of the IDF from security zones in Lebanon and the Hermon, which he believes are essential for protecting northern residents from jihadist threats.
Katz emphasized that the establishment of security zones in Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, and refugee camps in the northern West Bank is part of a new security doctrine he, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the security establishment are leading. He asserted that following the dismissal of Yoav Gallant and the dissolution of the War Cabinet, there are no more retreats, and terror is being met with territorial and infrastructural consequences.
The Defense Minister also attacked Yair Golan, whom he identified as Eisenkot's designated defense minister. Katz claimed Golan opposes the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei and military operations against Iran, such as "Lion's Roar" and "With the Lion." Katz warned that such a "dated and dangerous concept" from the past would revert Israel from an offensive and initiative-based policy to one of containment and regulation, urging that this must not happen.
