Netanyahu said angry at Gallant for allegedly taking ownership of response to Golan attack

The long-ongoing tensions between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have reportedly crept into the discussions on how to respond to Hezbollah’s deadly strike on Majdal Shams yesterday.

The Kan public broadcaster says Netanyahu was irked by Gallant’s statement last night that he had huddled with security chiefs to discuss “options for action.”

The premier took particular offense with Gallant’s remark that he had “determined the courses of action and instructed the defense establishment accordingly,” the report says.

Kan reports that Likud ministers subsequently received messages from Netanyahu’s direction the the prime minister is very angry at Gallant and that his office believes the defense minister wants to make decisions and manage the war on his own.
