Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir of attacking him in media briefings to reporters, according to Channel 12 news.
Citing two sources familiar with the matter, the report says Netanyahu leveled the accusation during talks they held before Tuesday’s meeting of the security cabinet, and also hit out at Zamir over several other issues, including for saying Israel should accept the hostage deal currently on offer.
The IDF says it won’t comment on the report while the Prime Minister’s Office claims it’s “fake news.”
