Alleged crisis between Netanyahu and IDF chief Zamir over Iran reverberates in Israel

The coverage by "المترجم احمد المقادمة" and "الشرق الأوسط" focused on the content of the Channel 12 report, the details of the crisis and Netanyahu's denial, while one "lebanon debate" item limited itself to a general media treatment and then carried the defense minister's denial, and "صدى البلد" focused on Lieberman's demand for a criminal investigation into Netanyahu. The emphasis thus ranged across the security-political dispute, the official denial, and the political accusations.

• المترجم احمد المقادمة It limited itself to relaying what Israel's Channel 12 reported about a crisis between Netanyahu and Zamir caused by the military leadership's fear of a manufactured crisis with Iran, noting Netanyahu's denial.
• الشرق الأوسط It led with a reference to a "political directive" concerning Iran ahead of the elections, added Gadi Eisenkot's support for Zamir, and Netanyahu calling the report nonsense and his warnings of a possible Iranian attack before the vote.
• lebanon debate It presented a first item on the Israeli media's preoccupation with the dispute without details on its nature, then in a second item relayed the Israeli defense minister's denial of the reports of disagreements between the political leadership and the army over Iran, describing them as baseless.
• صدى البلد It highlighted Avigdor Lieberman's demand for an immediate criminal investigation into Netanyahu on suspicion of treason and his accusation that Netanyahu pressured security leaders, in the context of the reports of the dispute with the chief of staff.
