Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may dismiss Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir if he forms the next government, according to military analyst Yossi Yehoshua of Channel 12. The report indicates a peak in distrust between Netanyahu and Zamir, stemming from a sharp disagreement over the West Bank and operations in Hebron. Zamir reportedly opposed a specific mission, stating "we no longer have anything to do in Hebron," which some political figures viewed as a refusal of orders. A tunnel was subsequently discovered in Hebron.
Separately, CNN reported that Netanyahu had attempted to launch an attack on Iran last week. However, the operation was ultimately opposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. A key factor in this decision was a conversation between Chief of Staff Zamir and American officials. Zamir reportedly told the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that such a move would "harm the integrity of the elections," and the U.S. did not give the "green light" for the operation.
