Israeli lawmaker Eisenkot warns Netanyahu against military action on Iran

The significance here is less about Iran than about Israel's caretaker government making national-security decisions during a transition, with a challenger publicly drawing a red line on military deployment without a direct threat. Eisenkot's framing—warning of consequences for Israeli democracy—signals that any strike debate is now entangled with the country's political legitimacy, not just strategy. The open question is whether the letter constrains Netanyahu's room to act before a new government forms, and whether the Iran dimension stays implied or becomes explicit.
