TV: Security officials angry after PM flies to enemy state, telling no one
Security officials are angry at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flying to Saudi Arabia without informing top officials or the knowledge of the military, Channel 12 reports.
The premier’s military attaché, Avi Bluth, also did not inform IDF chief of staff Aviv Kohavi.
The network notes that the prime minister departed without informing much of the country’s leadership to a country that is currently designated an enemy state.
He also did not designate anyone as his stand-in.
Should anything have happened while the prime minister was away, or to the prime minister, much of Israel’s leadership would have been caught entirely by surprise.
