The offices of Prime Minister Yair Lapid and opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu are at odds on whether to put out a photograph from their scheduled security meeting on Iran later today, according to Hebrew media reports.
The reports say Lapid’s office wants to release a photo of the two, arguing it would project Israeli unity to the world, while Netanyahu’s office argues the premier is seeking to use the image for political reasons.
Lapid and Netanyahu released competing photos from their recent security meeting, the first such briefing the opposition chief had attended since losing the premiership over a year ago.
