During the transition period, what authority does Netanyahu’s government have over possible military action against Iran?

The story in brief

Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot said on Thursday that they had agreed to meet in Jerusalem, where Eisenkot would be briefed on political and security developments. Netanyahu's government remains in office until a new government is formed; a decision to start a war or a major operation likely to lead to one must be made by the government or the cabinet, with notification to the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and the Knesset.
