Israel election rocked: IDF chief demands written order from Netanyahu over Iran strike fears
A rare confrontation at the top of Israel's leadership has emerged just two days before the election. Israeli media report that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and military chief Eyal Zamir are at odds over Iran. Zamir reportedly fears government instructions could trigger an immediate military escalation and has demanded written authorisation. Netanyahu denies any confrontation. The reports come as he warns Iran could attack Israel to disrupt Tuesday's vote.
