Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an assessment today with all the top defense officials to discuss courses of action proposed by the military, his office says.
According to a statement published by the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu met with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, Mossad Director David Barnea, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi, head of the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, head of the IDF Operations Directorate Maj. Gen. Oded Basiuk, the head of the Defense Ministry’s Political-Military Bureau Dror Shalom, and the premier’s military secretary, Maj. Gen. Avi Gil.
“The prime minister accepted the recommendations and courses of action proposed by the IDF and the defense establishment,” the PMO says in a vague statement that does not elaborate.
