Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Thursday, November 12, rejected a call from Gadi Eisenkot, head of Yashar, to postpone military operations not facing immediate threats. The previous day, Eisenkot had written to outgoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging restraint and deferral of risky decisions until the new government takes office. Katz responded, "Israel's security is not in transition and does not await the outcome of ongoing political processes," as reported by Israel National News. He asserted that the government does not require approval from the opposition or the judiciary to direct the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Katz cited ongoing operations in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank, as well as maintaining a security zone in Syria, as examples of necessary actions. He added that executive decisions remain subject to existing oversight mechanisms. Regarding Iran, Katz stated the government has acted with "determination and discernment" in coordination with the IDF and will continue to take necessary measures. Netanyahu and Eisenkot are scheduled to meet on Thursday for a diplomatic and security briefing at the Prime Minister's office in Jerusalem, with Major General Guy Markizano, the Prime Minister's Military Secretary, also attending. This meeting follows a public exchange where Eisenkot accused Netanyahu of denying him an official briefing, while the Prime Minister's office accused Eisenkot of politicizing national security.
