<\/a>Netanyahu, Eisenkot meet for security briefing after clash over letter to attorney general<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nJNS Staff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yashar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot held a two-hour security briefing in Jerusalem on Thursday, following a public dispute over intelligence updates and reports of disagreements over possible military action against Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n The meeting at the Prime Minister\u2019s Office was attended by Netanyahu\u2019s military secretary.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe security briefing held by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Military Secretary Maj. Gen. Guy Markizeno for Yashar Chairman Gadi Eisenkot has now concluded,\u201d according to a joint statement issued by Netanyahu and Eisenkot.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEisenkot was briefed on the security and diplomatic challenges presently faced by the State of Israel. The parties agreed to proceed with mutual updates as the need arises.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The meeting came four days after Israeli President Isaac Herzog tasked Eisenkot<\/a><\/span>, a former IDF chief of staff, with forming Israel\u2019s next government following the Oct. 27 election.<\/span><\/p>\n Eisenkot received the mandate after parties with 67 members of the newly elected Knesset recommended him for prime minister, compared with 46 who backed Netanyahu. Neither political bloc, however, commands a majority in the 120-seat legislature.<\/span><\/p>\n The meeting followed two letters sent by Eisenkot on Wednesday, one to Netanyahu warning against unnecessary military action during the political transition and another to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara seeking her intervention to secure regular intelligence and security briefings.<\/span><\/p>\n In his appeal to the attorney general, Eisenkot accused Netanyahu\u2019s office of failing to respond to repeated requests for updates on Israel\u2019s security situation.<\/span><\/p>\n He argued that, as the lawmaker tasked with forming a government, he should receive regular, structured and comprehensive briefings, particularly in the absence of an official opposition leader.<\/span><\/p>\n Eisenkot also urged Baharav-Miara to ensure that military operations were properly discussed and approved by the regular Cabinet and Security Cabinet, as required by law.<\/span><\/p>\n Netanyahu\u2019s office rejected Eisenkot\u2019s accusations, saying that all security decisions had been made on professional grounds and in proper coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAll decisions made by the government led by Prime Minister Netanyahu were made solely based on security considerations and in full coordination with the security establishment,\u201d the Prime Minister\u2019s Office said.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEisenkot\u2019s letter is an irresponsible move to discuss sensitive security issues in public. This is a transparent attempt to introduce politicization into Israel\u2019s national security issues,\u201d it added.<\/span><\/p>\n The Prime Minister\u2019s Office urged Eisenkot to join a Netanyahu-led government.<\/span><\/p>\n Netanyahu maintained that arrangements for a security briefing had already been initiated before Eisenkot approached the attorney general.<\/span><\/p>\n The briefing was initially expected to be conducted by Markizeno alone, before Netanyahu joined the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n The two political rivals later issued a joint announcement confirming that the prime minister would attend in person.<\/span><\/p>\n The dispute unfolded against the backdrop of reports of disagreements between Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir over the possibility of renewed military action against Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n Netanyahu was reportedly considering military action despite reservations among senior defense officials about the risks of escalation. The reports of disagreements have not been independently confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n In his letter to Netanyahu on Wednesday, Eisenkot urged the caretaker government to exercise restraint and avoid military operations that were not urgently required to address an immediate threat.<\/span><\/p>\n He warned that deploying security forces without an immediate threat that could not be postponed could have serious consequences for Israeli democracy and public confidence in state institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n Eisenkot called on Netanyahu to act responsibly and avoid military action that could be delayed until a new government was sworn in.<\/span><\/p>\n Netanyahu rejected Eisenkot\u2019s criticism as irresponsible, urging him to refrain from spreading fear and division.<\/span><\/p>\n Defense Minister Israel Katz also defended the government\u2019s authority to make security decisions during the political transition.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe do not need approval from the opposition or any legal authority to instruct the IDF,\u201d Katz wrote on X on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n He stressed that Israel\u2019s security could not be placed on hold while political negotiations continued.<\/span><\/p>\n Later Thursday, following a security assessment with Zamir and senior defense officials, Katz rejected suggestions of a rift over Iran and insisted that the political and military leadership were making decisions on Iran responsibly and in coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe prime minister, the chief of staff and I see eye to eye on the Iranian issue in all its aspects, and we will continue to act together and do whatever is required to ensure the security of the State of Israel and protect its citizens,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n The briefing marked a significant encounter between Netanyahu and Eisenkot as the Yashar leader seeks to assemble a governing coalition.<\/span><\/p>\n Although Herzog entrusted Eisenkot with forming the next government, Netanyahu remains prime minister, and his caretaker government retains responsibility for Israel\u2019s security and foreign policy.<\/span><\/p>\n Both Netanyahu and Eisenkot have called for a national unity government, while coalition negotiations continue among the parties elected to the 26th Knesset.<\/span><\/p>\n Thursday\u2019s joint statement did not disclose whether Iran was specifically discussed or whether the two leaders reached any understandings beyond their agreement to continue exchanging security and diplomatic updates as necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Netanyahu, Eisenkot meet for security briefing after clash over letter to attorney general JNS Staff The two political rivals held a two-hour meeting following Eisenkot\u2019s appeal for regular intelligence updates and warnings against military action during Israel\u2019s political transition.
