Tensions at the top of Israel’s leadership have escalated sharply, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son accusing the army chief of plotting a “mutiny” and, at the same time, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir pressing him to obey government orders for a possible full reoccupation of Gaza. Yair Netanyahu levelled the explosive charge at Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir after Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported that disagreements between the premier and senior generals over plans to reoccupy Gaza had reached “boiling point”.
