The caretaker prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot are due to hold a security briefing at 5pm Israel time on Thursday 12 November, which is 3pm UK time, according to the Times of Israel. The outcome is not yet known.
The meeting follows the KAN report that Israel's security cabinet has told the military to prepare for a possible attack on Iran.
Netanyahu's office told the Times of Israel the briefing would take place at 5pm and gave no further details. The paper says Eisenkot, the lawmaker tasked with forming a government, had pushed to receive regular intelligence updates.
Bloomberg reports that the two men are heading for a showdown over whether Israel should strike Iran again. It says Eisenkot fears renewed strikes under false pretences.
The Times of Israel also reports that Avigdor Liberman has warned Netanyahu against dragging Israel into war without oversight or the agreement of the security chiefs.
None of these accounts has been confirmed on the record by the Israeli government or military.
