Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman Gadi Eisenkot are scheduled to meet Thursday at 5:00 PM in Jerusalem for a diplomatic-security update. The meeting will take place at the Prime Minister's office and will include the Military Secretary to the Prime Minister, Major General Guy Marqizano.
This meeting follows Eisenkot's recent appeal to Netanyahu, urging "restraint and caution" in security decision-making during the transition government period. Eisenkot argued that Netanyahu no longer holds the Knesset's confidence and warned that using security forces without immediate, unavoidable threats could have "devastating consequences for Israeli democracy and citizens' trust in government institutions."
Eisenkot also contacted Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, requesting her intervention to ensure he receives regular security updates from the Prime Minister. He stated these updates are necessary for "effective oversight, maintaining a proper national decision-making process, and safeguarding security interests."
The Prime Minister's office rejected Eisenkot's claims, asserting that all government decisions under Netanyahu's leadership were made solely for security reasons and in full coordination with the security establishment, leading to "unprecedented achievements." They criticized Eisenkot's public discussion of sensitive security matters as irresponsible and an attempt to politicize national security issues.
Netanyahu's office reiterated his call for Eisenkot to join a government fighting terrorism, contrasting it with what they described as attempts to form a government with "supporters of terror."
