Description
Israel is undergoing the most sweeping shuffle of its top military and intelligence echelons in which virtually every senior officer will be replaced because their appointments have expired. Analysts say this indicates that no attack on Iran is imminent. But this unprecedented changing of the guard is being conducted at a time when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Israel's most decorated military hero, have come under intense criticism from within the military, and when the Middle East is seething with tension, seemingly ready to explode into a series of interlinked conflicts. "While many of the officials stepping down have been in their posts for an extended period of time," Yaakov Katz of Jane's Defense Weekly observed, "the message the mass exodus is sending domestically is also telling: that criticism of Netanyahu and Barak has reached a crescendo at a critical and sensitive time for Israel as it seeks to repair relationships with once-close allies, while maintaining a defensive posture amid the prospect of conflict on multiple fronts."
