Gadi Eisenkot is calling on Benjamin Netanyahu to postpone dangerous but nonurgent security decisions until a new government has the confidence of Israel's parliament, according to a report examining fears of renewed military action against Iran.

Qatar-based Al Araby Television's news channel presents the dispute in its Tawassol program, hosted by Amani Juha. The central question is whether Netanyahu could escalate militarily during government formation, and whether political considerations might influence that decision. The report presents those concerns as warnings and allegations, not as an established decision to attack.

Eisenkot, a former Israeli military chief who led the Yashar party as Netanyahu's main challenger in the election, urges restraint and caution. Juha recounts his appeal to avoid steps that can wait and to preserve public trust in governing institutions.

The segment cites the Israeli newspapers Maariv and Haaretz on warnings about possible imminent action against Iran and reported efforts to prevent the parliamentary Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee from meeting. It also describes disagreements between Netanyahu and military chief Eyal Zamir, while examining the influence of the American position under President Donald Trump.

Katz's response is markedly different. Reading from his statements on X, Juha reports that the defense minister says military operations do not require approval from the opposition or a legal authority. He defends the government's judgment on Iran and argues that Israeli security cannot wait for political processes unfolding alongside it. Those are Katz's assertions, rather than a legal finding about the government's powers.

The report then places the confrontation alongside what it describes as continuing Israeli bombardment of Gaza, including Khan Younis. Its final discussion surveys posts from Avigdor Lieberman and other social-media users before closing with archive images of Netanyahu, Eisenkot and military leaders.
