CNN reported that Israel's Chief of Staff warned his American counterpart that an attack on Iran at this time could jeopardize the elections. The elections in Israel are scheduled for tomorrow, October 27, while the mid-term elections in the US will be held on November 3. Polls indicate that Netanyahu may lose the election, but he will remain prime minister until a new government is formed, usually in about 60 days. During this time, his government could still authorize war with Iran or try to establish an emergency government.
