brightcove.createExperiences();

Eli Lake is the senior national security correspondent for Newsweek/Daily Beast. For more on the Israel-Iran standoff, read Eli’s story on the informal “security cabinet”, or octet, that may decide Israel’s actions:

Israeli law requires that major national-security decisions, like signing peace accords or ordering airstrikes, must receive a majority vote in either the full cabinet or a smaller ministerial committee on national security—a panel comprising half the ministers of the full cabinet. … [I]n practice, the decision of the octet is most vital.
