Defense Minister Israel Katz addressed the remarks made by Yashar Chairman Gadi Eisenkot in his speech last night, saying that "his appeal to senior IDF officers not to obey the instructions of the Prime Minister, myself and the authorized security forums 'because they have his backing' is an undemocratic and disconnected statement, and a continuation of the false campaign he and his colleagues conducted during the elections regarding alleged conflicts between the military and political echelons on the issue of Iran."
