[85874] Storm in the political-security leadership: Senior officials define the emerging agreement as "shocking for Israel"
Senior officials in the defense establishment and the government are expressing sharp opposition to a new agreement, claiming it is a dangerous deal that lacks support at the highest levels.
Tension surrounding the emerging agreement
The defense establishment and the political echelon in Israel are in a storm over the details of a new agreement, which senior officials define as a "shocking agreement for Israel." According to reports by journalists Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh, based on the words of a senior Israeli official, this opposition cuts across all edges of the country's leadership, from the Prime Minister to the Chief of Staff.
According to the report published in Political-Security Cabinet - Moriah Asraf & Doron Kadosh and cited by other channels such as Michael Shemesh and Ziv Rubinstein - Until the war ends, the unequivocal statement at the highest levels is that no one in the system believes the agreement serves Israel's interests.
Lack of clarity regarding the details of the agreement
Despite the sharp criticism, senior officials in the system are still trying to understand the full scope of the details. In another report by Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh, it was stated that senior government officials admit they are still working in various ways to "locate the full details of the agreement," which indicates ambiguity surrounding the ongoing negotiations.
At the same time, the channel News Voice on 🆃🅴🅻🅴🅶🆁🅰️🅼🔴, which presents a line emphasizing the importance of relations with the U.S., notes that the criticism concerns the core functioning of the government vis-à-vis the military echelon. The channel, alongside other sources such as Israel News Without Censorship and The News Arena, emphasized the intensity of the senior echelon's reservations about what is happening behind the scenes.
