The revelation of the operation to find information on missing IAF navigator Lt. Col. Ron Arad's fate has led to a confrontation between Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Defense Minister Benny Gantz, Haaretz reported on Thursday.

Existing tensions reportedly came to a head after Bennett disclosed the operation without consulting Gantz first.

According to Haaretz, Gantz was informed of Bennett's intention to reveal the operation only a few minutes before his speech in the Knesset on Monday.

Political sources indicated that Gantz was behind the media presentation of the operation as a failure shortly after it was exposed by Bennett. A source close to the prime minister told Haaretz that Gantz's attitude was "abnormal."

Channel 12 News reported that the Mossad had not opposed Bennett's desire to report the operation.

"Thanks to the operation, high-quality intelligence was gathered, obtained, and will direct us to places that we did not know before the operation," a security source told Channel 12. "It will help us understand what happened to Ron Arad."
