The political-security cabinet is set to convene on Sunday for the first time since the beginning of October, with the Israeli government maintaining legal authority to conduct security operations even during a transitional period.
Prime Minister Netanyahu may order military operations, though there are indications of American reservations about such escalation. Eisenkot has warned Netanyahu in writing about potential actions during the political transition, signalling concern from security establishment figures about decision-making during this period.
The cabinet meeting comes amid ongoing operations in Gaza and against a backdrop of diplomatic tensions regarding Israel’s security decisions. The convening of the full cabinet suggests significant security matters requiring government-level deliberation.
