A truly insane story by all measures, and perhaps a first-of-its-kind precedent in Israel's history!
Israeli Channel 12 is now allowing the publication of a report stating that Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir received a direct order from Netanyahu to launch a military campaign against Iran, but he refused to carry it out!
This is an extremely dangerous development, revealing a sharp rift between Israel's military and security establishment and its political leadership. And perhaps for the first time in its history, the disagreement has reached the point of the Chief of Staff directly defying orders from the Prime Minister!
The reason might be that Zamir and the army's leadership have reached the conviction that Netanyahu wants to launch a war on Iran to serve his electoral interests, not for military or security considerations.
This is a massive blow to Netanyahu, and it could create an unprecedented fracture within Israel's state institutions—indeed, it might even signal a military coup against Netanyahu himself.
I'm not exaggerating here. What is happening, if these details are accurate, could be one of the most dangerous crises between the military and the political leadership since Israel's founding.
