Israel's Minister of Education, Yoav Kisch, stated on Monday that Israel will soon attack Iran. He suggested this action would follow the US midterm elections, which are scheduled for November 3, 2026. Kisch also commented on potential political dynamics, noting that Israel's approach to confronting Iran after the US elections would depend on its leadership, specifically referencing Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump versus a prime minister lacking international standing.
This statement comes amid reports of significant tension between Prime Minister Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. According to a report by Yaron Avraham on Channel 12, relations have reached an unprecedented low after Zamir reportedly refused to carry out a military operation ordered by the Prime Minister. Zamir allegedly requested legal justifications and subsequently issued statements against the government's directive.
Further details suggest that a security assessment meeting attended by Netanyahu and top political-military officials devolved into harsh, personal exchanges. The meeting reportedly concerned a specific operation that could have escalated tensions with Iran. Zamir's refusal to execute the order, citing the need for in-depth discussions and legal authorizations from the political echelon, was described by a security source on Channel 12 as critical to preventing the operation.
