Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot sent Prime Minister Netanyahu an unusually sharp letter on Wednesday, demanding that he hold off on any dangerous security decisions until a new government is sworn in. Eisenkot noted that only 46 MKs still back Prime Minister Netanyahu's continued tenure. The former IDF chief of staff warned that using the security forces without an immediate threat could damage public trust in state institutions, and urged him not to put security chiefs in a constitutional conflict. The letter comes three days after Eisenkot received the mandate to form a government.
