Defense Minister Исраэль Кац has vehemently denied reports suggesting disagreements between Israel's political leadership and the IDF regarding an attack on Iran, and specifically refuted claims that the government planned to strike Iran before the recent elections. "Publications about disagreements between the political leadership and the IDF are absolutely false fabrications," Кац stated. He added, "Israel had no intention of attacking Iran before the elections. But we clearly state: any Iranian strike against our country will receive a powerful response."
According to CNN, Israeli Prime Minister Биньямин Нетаниягу had pressured the U.S. administration to launch a joint operation against Iran before the Israeli elections. An Israeli source told the network that "Trump did not give the green light." The source indicated that one reason for this decision was the stance of IDF Chief of Staff Эяль Замир, who informed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Дэн Кейн that such an operation would disrupt the elections and could lead to their postponement.
