In ‘unprecedented confrontation,’ IDF chief said resisting Netanyahu’s order for military action tied to Iran

An “unprecedented confrontation” has been unfolding in recent days between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir surrounding an instruction by the prime minister for unspecified military action that defense officials believe could lead to a swift confrontation with Iran shortly before the election, Channel 12 reported Sunday.

The TV network, which cited anonymous sources, said Zamir had been resisting carrying out the military action, no details of which were provided, and sought further deliberations, as well as signed documentation from Netanyahu regarding legal authorization for it.

Israels Ministerpräsident im Wahlkampf: Netanjahu postet KI-Bild von Atomexplosion in Israel

„Jeder, der um sein eigenes körperliches Überleben, das seiner Familie und seiner Liebsten besorgt ist, sollte mit zitternder Hand wählen, wenn er seine Stimme jemandem geben will, der nicht in der Lage sein wird, die Aufgabe zu erfüllen“, schrieb er, offenbar mit Blick auf ein erneutes Vorgehen gegen Iran. Solche Menschen setzten sich und ihre Angehörigen der Gefahr eines „zweiten Holocaust“ aus, schrieb der Vorsitzende der rechtskonservativen Likud-Partei.

Netanyahu promised answers after Oct. 7. Three years later, Israel is still waiting

In the early months of the war, establishing a state commission appeared to command broad political support, including among some Likud lawmakers and ministers. Over time, however, alternative proposals emerged, including a government-appointed panel and a commission whose members would be chosen through an agreement between coalition and opposition representatives.

None of those proposals has resulted in an inquiry.

Israelis grapple with reports that Netanyahu was warned of Oct. 7 attacks years ago

(October 6, 2026)

LONSDORF: NPR has spoken to four people in the Middle East with direct knowledge of such warnings, which the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the New York Times and the Atlantic first reported, confirming much of the reporting that Netanyahu is trying to deny. The ripple effects of those reports are playing out as Israelis are preparing to head to the polls in less than three weeks.

Wurde Israel von Ägypten vor Hamas-Überfall gewarnt?

Der neue Bericht beruft sich auf Regierungsvertreter in Israel, Ägypten und weiteren arabischen Ländern sowie auf Vertreter in den USA und Europa. The Atlantic schreibt, dass Ägyptens damaliger Geheimdienstchef Abbas Kamel Israel bereits elf Tage vor dem 7. Oktober vor einer drohenden Eskalation gewarnt habe. Kamel sei dafür eigens nach Israel geflogen. Sein Flugzeug habe sich 67 Minuten am Flughafen Ben Gurion aufgehalten.

Egypt’s Warning to Israel

(September 25, 2026)

Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood–aligned terrorist group that controlled Gaza, appeared to be mobilizing for a major attack, Kamel said, according to Israeli, Egyptian, Arab, U.S., and European officials who were briefed about his visit after October 7. The window to prevent a disaster was closing. He recommended that the Israeli government grant Hamas economic concessions to avert conflict. His message, according to one former Israeli official later briefed on the visit, was: If you don’t change course, Gaza is going to blow up in your faces.

Kamel didn’t provide Israeli officials with a date or specific information on what turned out to be a multipronged attack on Israel less than two weeks later, on October 7. And it’s not clear exactly with whom he met. The Egyptian plane remained on the ground in Israel for 67 minutes, according to an Israeli-airport-authority flight log, before returning to Cairo. (Independent flight-tracking applications confirm the plane’s journey.)

Netanyahu Is Said to Have Been Warned About Hamas Attack Before Oct. 7

(September 25, 2026)

Mr. Netanyahu has denied the report.

But a person who said they had spoken with Sheikh Mohammed and another person who said they had been briefed by someone on the call between the two leaders told The New York Times that the Emirati leader had secretly reported to Mr. Netanyahu that Hamas was considering a major attack.

The warning from the Emirati leader, however, never reached the leaders of Israel’s security establishment, according to five former senior Israeli officials.

Anschlag auf den CSD: Dobrindt stuft Tat als „islamistischen Terroranschlag“ ein

Am Sonntagnachmittag trat Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt vor die Presse und stufte die Tat als „islamistischen Terroranschlag“ ein. Auch die Ermittler gehen von einem islamistischen Terroranschlag aus.

Laut CSU-Chef Markus Söder zielte der Angriff auf die freiheitlich-demokratische Grundordnung in Deutschland. „Er ist auch ein bewusster Anschlag auf die Freiheitsidee unseres Landes. Und deswegen muss auch mit aller Härte dagegen vorgegangen werden“, sagte der bayerische Ministerpräsident im ZDF-Sommerinterview.

Oil prices rise 5%, and stocks drop worldwide after Trump says ceasefire with Iran is ‘over’

Oil prices rose, and stock markets dropped in shaky trading worldwide Wednesday after President Donald Trump raised doubts about the temporary truce in the war with Iran.

The S&P 500 fell as much as 1.1% after Trump said the agreement to pause fighting was “over,” but the index then trimmed its loss to 0.3% after Trump said the most recent exchange of fire with the Islamic Republic did not herald a return to full-scale war. They’re his latest mixed messages on what will happen with the war, which threatens to worsen inflation for the world.

When the Ayatollah Said No to Nukes

(September / October 2014)

A few Iranian sources have previously pointed to a fatwa by the Islamic Republic’s first supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, prohibiting chemical weapons as the explanation for why Iran did not deploy these weapons during the war with Iraq. But no details have ever been made public on when and how Khomeini issued such a fatwa, so it has been ignored for decades.

Now, however, the wartime chief of the Iranian ministry responsible for military procurement has provided an eyewitness account of Khomeini’s ban not only on chemical weapons, but on nuclear weapons as well. In an interview with me in Tehran in late September, Mohsen Rafighdoost, who served as minister of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) throughout the eight-year war, revealed that he had proposed to Khomeini that Iran begin working on both nuclear and chemical weapons — but was told in two separate meetings that weapons of mass destruction are forbidden by Islam.
