Israel caretaker government military operations

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet has reportedly directed the military to prepare for possible renewed strikes against Iran, triggering objections from opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot. The development comes as Israel undergoes a political transition following its October 27 parliamentary elections. Israeli Military Asked to Prepare for Possible Iran Strikes The security cabinet issued fresh instructions on Wednesday, November 11, concerning potential military operations against Iran. The directives could lead to activities capable of triggering another conflict, although no decision to launch an attack has been confirmed. The cabinet's previous meeting took place on October 5, before Israel's parliamentary elections. Details concerning possible targets, military preparations or the timing of any operation have not been disclosed. Gadi Eisenkot Warns Netanyahu Against Military Escalation Eisenkot, who has been tasked with forming Israel's next government, urged Netanyahu to avoid unnecessary military operations during the transition. In a letter to the Prime Minister, Eisenkot argued that major security decisions should be postponed unless Israel faced a direct and immediate threat. He warned that military action without sufficient justification could undermine democratic institutions and public confidence. Eisenkot also questioned Netanyahu's parliamentary support, stating that only 46 Knesset members continued to back his leadership. Israel Coalition Talks Continue After October Elections President Isaac Herzog formally assigned Eisenkot the responsibility of forming a government on November 8. Parliamentary factions representing 67 lawmakers recommended Eisenkot, while 46 supported Netanyahu and seven declined to endorse either candidate. Eisenkot has 28 days to establish a coalition, with a possible 14-day extension. The political dispute adds uncertainty to Israel's security policy as tensions with Iran remain unresolved.
