New York Times: Netanyahu called for a new attack on Iran before the Israeli elections Eyal Zamir, Chief of the IDF General Staff, did not see an attack as necessary in the current situation and feared that a separate and less noisy operation would also result in a retaliatory response from Iran. According to this report, the renewal of the conflicts could lead to the postponement of the elections or hinder the opposition's efforts to form a government after the elections. Avigdor Lieberman, a politician opposed to Netanyahu, called for an investigation into the accusation of treason and accused the prime minister of risking the lives of soldiers for fear of defeat in the elections.
