Defense Minister Israel Katz on Tuesday strongly criticized remarks made by Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the National Unity Party, who reportedly urged senior IDF officers not to obey directives from the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister, stating they would have his backing. Katz described Eisenkot's alleged appeal as "undemocratic and detached," accusing him and his colleagues of continuing a "false campaign" from the recent elections concerning supposed conflicts between the military and political echelons regarding Iran.
Katz asserted that Eisenkot's statement was an attempt to undermine the authority of the Prime Minister, himself, and authorized security forums. He characterized the appeal as a continuation of what he termed a deceitful narrative promoted during the election period, aimed at creating a false impression of discord within Israel's security leadership.
