Report: US officials wary of Netanyahu assurances he won't fire other security chiefs

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told the White House he does not intend to fire any more security chiefs following the dismissal of Yoav Gallant as defense minister, but US officials do not necessarily trust his assurances, Axios reports.

According to the outlet, administration figures are wary of the possibility Netanyahu will seek to remove more top figures with whom they have working relationships.

“We still have a lot of things to do in the next two months. We don’t have a relationship with [the new defense minister Israel] Katz, and we are concerned it is going to be much more difficult now,” an official tells Axios.
