Tensions have resurfaced within Israel's security establishment, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir reportedly clashing over potential actions against Iran. The dispute, revealed by Channel 12 correspondent Yaron Avraham on Thursday, centers on disagreements about the prudence of such operations.
According to the report, Zamir believes that the actions Netanyahu is considering are "not cautious" and could reignite conflict with Iran at a time when restraint is needed. This stance is reportedly strengthened by US President Donald Trump's apparent lack of interest in further confrontation.

The Prime Minister's Office dismissed the report as "biased fake news," stating they do not comment on closed security discussions. The IDF spokesperson's office declined to respond to the report.
