Netanyahu and Eisenkot Hold Two-Hour Security Meeting Amid Political Tensions
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot met Thursday at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem for a security and diplomatic briefing lasting approximately two hours. Netanyahu's military secretary, Maj. Gen. Guy Markizano, also attended.
In a joint statement, the two leaders said, "Eisenkot was briefed on the current security and diplomatic challenges facing the State of Israel." They also agreed to "continue to keep each other updated as necessary."
The meeting followed tensions between the two leaders over security briefings and military decision-making during the government's transition period. On Wednesday, Eisenkot urged Netanyahu to exercise restraint and avoid potentially dangerous military decisions that could be postponed until a new government takes office. The discussions come amid reports of disagreements over possible Israeli military action against Iran.
