- Zamir believes Netanyahu's proposed actions against Iran are not cautious and could spark a new conflict.
- U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that a renewed military campaign against Iran is unlikely.
- Netanyahu had previously pushed for action against Iran, reportedly with Mossad chief Roman Gofman's support.
These discussions are taking place during a sensitive period, with uncertainty surrounding the formation of the next Israeli government.
Sources indicate that Zamir has expressed concerns that Netanyahu's desired actions could lead to a rapid escalation with Iran, particularly at a time when caution is advised. This is further complicated by the stance of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has recently suggested that a renewed military campaign against Iran is "highly unlikely" and appears unnecessary.
Trump's recent statements indicate a preference for economic pressure over military engagement, aiming to maintain the status quo. This comes after reports that Netanyahu, with the support of Mossad chief Roman Gofman, had previously pushed for action against Iran shortly before Israeli elections. However, this initiative was reportedly met with resistance from American officials and other Israeli professional echelons who feared a dangerous escalation.
The IDF spokesperson's office declined to comment.
