Israeli news reports on Sunday revealed that tensions erupted during a recent cabinet session after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Security Minister Yoav Gallant of security leaks.
According to Israeli broadcaster Kan's correspondent, Netanyahu reportedly hinted at this issue by saying: "Every time I sit in small meetings with the defense minister, the head of the Mossad, and the head of the Shin Bet - everything is leaked. I know that it's not the head of the Mossad and not the head of the Shin Bet, so who could it be?"
Political affairs correspondent Suleiman Masouda noted that Gallant was not present during that particular meeting, but several ministers and leaders of the security establishment were in attendance.
The Israeli security and military leadership have previously voiced concerns about discussing cabinet-related matters "out of fear of leaks."

Earlier this month, Netanyahu claimed that a date for the Rafah aggression had been set, but Security Minister Yoav Gallant later debunked these statements during a visit to Washington, Axios said in a report.
US President Joe Biden's administration has issued multiple calls for the occupation entity to defer a ground offensive in Rafah, unless it presents a feasible plan to evacuate civilians, as "Israel's" global image continues to be tarnished with its ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the regime continues to be engulfed by weekly protests led by the families of captives in Gaza.
While the Qatari-mediated negotiations seem to have reached a stall, questions are still being raised over "Israel's" inability to reach its goals.
An op-ed published by the Israeli newspaper Maariv earlier today detailed that "Israel should declare the end of the war because it truly lost."
