Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented intelligence assessments regarding a potential renewed war with Iran to Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar Party. A source familiar with the security briefing, held at the Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem and lasting approximately two hours, suggested the intelligence could alter Eisenkot's perception of Netanyahu's motives. The report from Channel 12 indicated Netanyahu may have used the meeting to advocate for the swift resumption of military operations against Iran. "When Eisenkot reviews the full body of intelligence, everything will become clear to him. After this meeting, he will behave differently and stop suspecting the Prime Minister of any hidden motives," the source stated.
However, media reports suggest that Israel's security leadership does not currently see circumstances in Iran that would justify an immediate military operation. This comes despite Netanyahu's repeated calls for renewed strikes both before and after recent elections. Critics accuse the Prime Minister of seeking to draw the country into a military confrontation with Iran for political reasons.
The meeting also included Major General Guy Marziano, the Prime Minister's Military Secretary. Meanwhile, Iranian Army Commander Major General Abdolrahim Khatami warned that Israel and the United States would face severe consequences and heavy losses if new strikes were launched against Iran.
