Israel's caretaker defense minister, Israel Katz, says the current government doesn't need opposition approval to carry out military strikes.
This comes after opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot called for more caution, warning that acting without clear threats could hurt public trust and democracy.
Katz reassured that the coalition will keep working closely with the Israel Defense Forces, or the IDF, to address any real dangers.
Gadi Eisenkot seeks government, criticizes Netanyahu
There's a lot of political tension right now. Eisenkot has criticized caretaker Prime Minister Netanyahu for not keeping him in the loop on security matters.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu and Eisenkot are set to meet soon as Eisenkot tries to form a new government before December 6, following elections where no one got a clear majority.
All this reflects just how high-stakes and complex Israeli politics are at the moment.
