Israel readies for possible Iran strike as Netanyahu and Eisenkot clash

According to public broadcaster KAN, the directives could lead the army to activity that triggers a war. The cabinet has not met since 5 October and is due to convene on Sunday. Eisenkot wrote to Netanyahu that deploying forces without a direct and immediate threat could have devastating consequences for Israeli democracy. Netanyahu called publicly discussing sensitive security matters irresponsible and said all decisions rested solely on security considerations. Senior officials told KAN the army keeps preparing and warned that gains against Iran could erode if neither action nor an agreement follows.
