Netanyahu clashes with security chiefs on Hamas deal

Tel Aviv | Benjamin Netanyahu is sharply at odds with his security chiefs over a potential agreement to halt the fighting in Gaza and ease soaring tensions across the Middle East, as Israeli defence officials push to take the deal.

The dispute at the top of the Israeli establishment comes as the Jewish state braces for retaliation by Iran and its proxy forces for twin assassinations last week that killed Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and the military chief of Lebanon-based Hezbollah.
