Analysis: While PM is convinced he has a firm grasp of the material, he must realize that his subordinates in the defense establishment are fallible and not every action or policy they offer is sacrosanct.

Lapid became prime minister after being present at security consultations for a whole year. He's convinced that he has a firm grasp of the material, which is both true and false at the same time. There is a glaring difference between someone who sits through a briefing and then goes back to tend to his business and someone who must make decisions immediately.

The people at the top of the defense establishment nowadays are very competent and undoubtedly dedicated to Israel. Their credibility is higher than that of politicians.
