Israel Defence Minister Criticizes Eisenkot's Call for Military to Resist Political Orders
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz criticized opposition candidate Gadi Eisenkot for urging military leaders to resist directives from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and political authorities, calling the stance undemocratic and detached from reality. Eisenkot, a former IDF chief, had urged the military to serve the state rather than the premier, warning against Netanyahu using security matters for political purposes. Katz dismissed Eisenkot's remarks as electoral rhetoric and denied claims of military-political tensions over Iran policy.
