Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu rejected claims that warnings of conflict in the various arenas are a "spin".
"We see what's going on in the Middle East: Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria are turbulent and Iran dominates the region. It requires very difficult decisions. What I said and what the Chief of Staff said is not a spin, it's a reflection of the reality of present and future challenges. The importance of a unity government is in security," he said.
