Israeli Military Chief Cancels U.S. Trip Over ‘Sensitive Security Situation’
TEL AVIV (Dispatches) -- Israel’s military chief Eyal Zamir canceled a planned U.S. trip on Wednesday due to a “sensitive security situation,” i24 reported.
A senior source said, “You can’t put the military on alert and fly abroad.” The move followed Netanyahu’s warning of pre-election attack threats. A FlyDubai jet also diverted to Saudi Arabia Wednesday after an alleged cockpit assault.
