Minister and Security Chiefs Clash in Political Turmoil.

Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu accused top security officials of "rebelling" against the current coalition government and preventing it from fulfilling its campaign promises on security issues. Eliyahu blamed the 1990s Oslo Accords with the Palestinians for bringing "destruction in a shiny wrapping of peace" in an anti-democratic fashion. Opposition leader Yair Lapid called for Eliyahu's removal from his post, while Yesh Atid MK Mickey Levy condemned the "inciting and scandalous statement against security establishment officials." The Mossad denied reports that senior officials encouraged protests against the government's judicial overhaul plans.
