"I do not intend to dismiss the army chief."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had to make this unusual explanation on social media just hours before the election.
Netanyahu's statement came at a time when a report by Israeli TV Channel 12 claimed that the current Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, is unlikely to remain in office if he succeeds in forming a new government.
According to the Channel 12 report, strong differences have emerged between Netanyahu and the Israeli army chief over a sensitive security issue in recent days.
The TV channel claims that the dispute was not about a possible attack on Iran, but about an action that General Zamir feared could be misinterpreted by Iran, leading to a sudden military escalation or conflict between the two countries.
