It is likely that the Israeli elections will not change the course on Gaza and Iran. The Israeli opposition says it will offer an alternative to Benjamin Netanyahu, but significant changes in policy on Gaza and Iran are unlikely regardless of who wins the election, according to the Wall Street Journal. Gadi Eisenkot, the former chief of staff and now Netanyahu's main opponent, helped create the HaDhya doctrine, which calls for using overwhelming force against militant strongholds. He also served in Netanyahu's war cabinet and expressed doubts about the possibility of regime change in Iran, instead of rejecting military action outright. Another opposition leader, Naftali Bennett, rejected concessions to the Palestinians. Meanwhile, polls show an increase in right-wing sentiment among Israeli Jews and continued support for Israel's military presence in Gaza and Lebanon.
