France 24, citing Israeli media, reports that Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir demanded written authorisation over government instructions he feared could trigger immediate escalation with Iran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denies any confrontation.
Why it matters
The reported demand puts explicit political authorisation at issue before the military carries out instructions that could escalate fighting with Iran.
