The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly criticized a letter from Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar Party, calling it an "obvious attempt" to politicize national security. Eisenkot had urged the Prime Minister to refrain from using military force without an immediate threat, warning that such actions could harm Israeli democracy and public trust.
In response, Netanyahu's office stated that all government decisions are based solely on security considerations and in coordination with security forces, a policy they claim has yielded unprecedented results. They characterized Eisenkot's public discussion of sensitive security matters as "irresponsible" and an attempt to "sow fear and division."
The Prime Minister's office also reiterated Netanyahu's offer for Eisenkot to join a coalition against terrorism, contrasting it with attempts to form a government with "supporters of terror."
Earlier reports indicated Eisenkot's warning to Netanyahu ahead of a potential government transition, specifically advising against military operations without an imminent threat. The article also noted a lack of unity within the opposition regarding future coalition formations, with Eisenkot and others seeking support from Arab parties while Avigdor Lieberman aims for ultra-Orthodox backing.
