A former Israeli security official, identified as Golan, has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being a "sick and weak leader" willing to endanger Israel's security for personal and political reasons, particularly ahead of elections. Golan stated that Netanyahu lacks the legitimacy to drag Israel into a new military confrontation based on such motives and urged the IDF chief of staff and heads of security agencies to resist any attempts to use the military for political interests.
Golan's remarks followed a Financial Times report alleging that Netanyahu had ordered the IDF to prepare a multi-day air campaign against Iran. This plan was reportedly scheduled for October 10 but was halted due to U.S. President Donald Trump's opposition to escalating the conflict before the November midterm elections.
The alleged Israeli plan included targeting nuclear facilities, sites linked to the Iranian regime, and civilian infrastructure such as power plants. U.S.-Israeli consultations on the Iranian issue and potential escalation are reportedly ongoing.
These developments occur amidst disagreements over the timing of any new military action, while Israeli and American concerns persist regarding Iran's nuclear program and the potential regional security implications of any escalation.
