Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the "Yashar" party, for a two-hour security briefing at his Jerusalem office on Thursday, November 12. The meeting, which also included Netanyahu's military secretary, Major General Guy Marziano, focused on the political and military-strategic situation facing Israel.
According to a statement, Eisenkot was briefed on current security and foreign policy challenges. The participants agreed to maintain communication and exchange information as needed. Eisenkot had requested the briefing as he holds a mandate to form a new government and the opposition leader position remains vacant following the new Knesset's swearing-in.
Eisenkot has also reportedly appealed to the government's legal advisor to intervene in the situation. Amidst disagreements, opposition bloc representatives claim Netanyahu is attempting to initiate a military operation against Iran without U.S. involvement, a scenario allegedly not supported by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and other security officials.
The military-political cabinet is scheduled to convene on Sunday, November 15, for its first meeting in over a month and a half. Previously, Eisenkot had cautioned Netanyahu against conducting military operations without an immediate threat, warning that such decisions could undermine Israeli democracy and public trust in state institutions.
