Israel’s security cabinet has instructed the military to step up preparations for a possible attack on Iran, Israeli public broadcaster “KAN” reported Wednesday evening, according to “Anadolu Agency”.
“KAN” said the cabinet’s directives could prompt the Israeli military to carry out actions that might trigger a war.
The directives became public after Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the “Yashar” party, urged caretaker Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid unnecessary military operations until a new government is formed.
The security cabinet last met on Oct. 5, weeks before Israel’s Oct. 27 elections, “KAN” reported.
