The Paper reported on November 14, 2026, citing information from Israel dated November 13, local time, that Israeli military chief of staff Zamir opposed immediately resuming military action against Iran. According to the report, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and several senior security officials he appointed disagreed with him.

Zamir reportedly considered the threat from Iran real but not urgent enough to require an immediate strike. He was also concerned that, before a new Israeli government had been formed, such action could be used by Netanyahu for political purposes. The report said Zamir was facing pressure from several Netanyahu-appointed officials. It also noted that opposition figures had previously accused Netanyahu of prioritizing personal loyalty over national security when appointing senior security officials.

The source identifies its image of Zamir as a file photo, not a photograph of the reported discussions.
