Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, has said opposition approval is not needed to launch strikes, according to a 5:34pm entry on Dawn's live blog. Dawn's report gives no further detail, and it does not say which strikes he was referring to.
The remark goes further than his earlier statements. On Thursday morning Katz said the government did not need opposition approval to instruct the military to operate in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria or the West Bank, according to Al-Monitor. He also said Iran policy was being handled "in full coordination with the military". His full words on strikes have not been independently checked.
The comment comes after opposition figures accused Benjamin Netanyahu of pushing for unilateral action on Iran despite reported opposition from the military chief, Eyal Zamir. Netanyahu's briefing with Gadi Eisenkot ended with a joint statement that did not mention Iran.
Israel's security cabinet is expected to meet on Sunday 15 November, Anadolu reports, via Middle East Monitor.
