English · 1 newsroom

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has reportedly again opposed unspecified actions against Iran that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to advance. Zamir believes the actions are ill-advised due to political uncertainty in Israel and a reduced US desire for conflict. The Prime Minister's Office has called the reports "biased fake news." This reported dispute follows similar tensions before Israel's October 27 election, with Zamir reportedly resisting military directives.
