Jerusalem:The Israeli army has advised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot that there is no urgent necessity for an immediate strike on Iran. The army recommended maintaining a stance of readiness to support any potential future actions that might be initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump against Iran.
According to Maan News Agency, Israeli Channel 13 disclosed that senior military officials emphasized the need for stability in Israel to shape its policy towards Iran. The meeting, which included the Prime Minister's Military Secretary, Guy Marquisano, concluded with a joint statement affirming that Eisenkot was updated on the current security and political challenges. The statement also highlighted the importance of continued information exchange.
The report noted that President Isaac Herzog played a mediating role in organizing the meeting between Netanyahu and Eisenkot. Meanwhile, Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, cautioned on his X-link account against a transitional government making unilateral decisions that could lead Israel into conflict without comprehensive security oversight.
Eisenkot, in a letter to Netanyahu, urged caution and restraint during this sensitive period. He advised against making hasty decisions that could impact Israeli democracy, emphasizing the importance of awaiting a new government with Knesset confidence before taking any irreversible actions.
