Israel: Gadi Eisenkot calls on Benjamin Netanyahu to show "restraint and caution" regarding possible new attacks in Iran

Gadi Eisenkot, former Israeli chief of staff, urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to act responsibly regarding security decisions, particularly concerning Iran. Eisenkot's warning comes amid Netanyahu's aggressive rhetoric towards Tehran, raising concerns about a potential conflict that could disrupt ongoing parliamentary discussions. He emphasized that using security forces without an immediate threat could harm Israeli democracy and public trust. Netanyahu's office accused Eisenkot of politicizing national security, asserting that all government decisions were made for security reasons. Eisenkot, tasked with forming a new government by December 6, criticized Netanyahu's divisive remarks about Arab leaders, calling for a national unity government in light of Iranian threats.
