Israeli television has given the first accounts of what Gadi Eisenkot was told in his two-hour security briefing with Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the Times of Israel. The joint statement issued after the meeting did not mention Iran.
Channel 13 reports that the IDF position presented to Eisenkot was that there is no immediate urgency for Israel to strike Iran. It also reports that, in the military's view, Israel should join the fighting if Trump renews US attacks.
The Times of Israel says the security establishment reportedly sees no developments in Iran that would justify an immediate operation.
Channel 12 gives a different account. It reports that a source familiar with the briefing said before the meeting that the intelligence would change how Eisenkot views Netanyahu's motives. According to Channel 12, Netanyahu was apparently using the meeting to stress the urgency of resuming fighting. The source told the channel:
"Once Eisenkot is exposed to the full intelligence picture, he will understand everything. After this meeting, he won't act the same way; he won't suspect the prime minister's motives"
Both reports rely on unnamed sources and have not been independently checked. The security cabinet is due to meet on Sunday 15 November.
