Cabinet rift emerges over scope of potential Iran strike, Israeli media report

A disagreement emerged in Israel's security cabinet last night, according to reports. Prime Minister Netanyahu presented the US preference for a very limited operation in Iran, while Ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich pushed for striking more significant targets, including energy infrastructure — a move the US opposed. Shas leader Aryeh Deri was the main dissenter within the cabinet.
