Would a war with Iran strengthen Netanyahu? His image is in the shadow of electoral lead

Major Iranian news channel has shown this “The world’s largest and longest-range drone attack in history”., claimed to demonstrate the “incompetence” of Israeli and American air defenses. Tensions in the region have reached a critical level, with Israel vowing more revenge against Israel and threatening to cripple any aggressor.

In view of this provocation, all eyes are on Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu. As speculation grows about Israel’s response, the key question arises: How and when will it respond? Netanyahu is under attack from the far right internally and isolated internationally, his position is shaky. With the only significant support coming from the United States, any subsequent demands for restraint could create a rift in its weak ruling coalition.

The next election to be held in 2026 now seems far away, with cabinet members demanding early elections. However, Polls show the former defense minister as the favourite, predicting a tough scenario for Netanyahu.

, Additionally, the political crisis has been further exacerbated by 7-month-long street protests demanding his resignation and the release of the hostages.

For Netanyahu, The war may be a strategy to buy time in his court caseWhere he has been accused of corruption. With trials suspended during the state of emergency caused by the war, each day of conflict represents an opportunity to postpone their fate before justice.
