Israel’s political-security cabinet is set to convene for the first time since early October, with significant debate emerging over whether Prime Minister Netanyahu can authorize military operations against Iran without full governmental consensus.
Multiple sources indicate tensions between Netanyahu’s office and senior security officials including opposition leader Eisenkot, who has warned in writing about potential military action. Trump administration officials have also expressed uncertainty about supporting such operations, with reports suggesting the US sees previous agreements differently than Israel.
The coalition government, currently in transition with negotiations ongoing with Haredi parties, retains broad security authority under Israeli law. However, the convergence of domestic political instability, international hesitation from the US, and internal security establishment concerns has created a complex backdrop for potential military decisions.
