Mansour Barati, an analyst of Israeli affairs in Iran, said in an interview with Al-Akhbar that "Netanyahu's victory again means the continuation of the conflict and the state of war with Iran. However, if his opponents come to power, it is likely that the conflict will move from the red zone to the gray zone, with sensitive security operations to replace it." Peretti points out that "Netanyahu has made the issue of the confrontation with Iran the most important election issue, to the extent that he suggests in his election campaigns that Israel's enemies, led by Iran, want him to lose the elections and would prefer his opponents to win", and added that "the Likud leader also made the slogan of changing the Iranian regime one of his main promises in the election in the next two years". Referring to US President Donald Trump's explicit support for Netanyahu in the elections, and describing him as his partner in "completing the mission", Perati believes that Netanyahu's remaining in power means the continuation of the existential conflict with Iran, especially in the remaining two years of Trump's term.
