Netanyahu: Attacking Iran before the elections in Israel is not in our interest Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, says that a possible attack by Israel or America on Iran in the coming days and before the elections in Israel is not in the interest of the state in the current situation. In an interview with IDF Radio on Wednesday, October 22, Netanyahu said in response to a question about the possibility of resuming strikes in Iran: "I don't think it suits us in the current situation." These statements come a day after the publication of reports that indicated a conversation between Netanyahu and Donald Trump, the president of the United States, about the possibility of renewing the attacks on Iran before the elections in both countries. The US Axios website reported on Tuesday, October 13, citing two US officials, an Israeli official and another source of information, that Trump and Netanyahu discussed the possibility of a new large-scale military operation against Iran last week. According to Axios, in this conversation, Netanyahu raised his concern about what Israel's information shows about the Islamic Republic's efforts to restore Iran's nuclear program. Axios sources said the two sides discussed the possibility of a joint operation between the US and Israel against Iran's military and nuclear targets, but Trump did not specifically commit to an attack. An American source told Axios that Netanyahu probably wants to renew the attacks and raised this issue with Trump several times, but the American president only talked about preparing for such a possibility. However, an official in the White House rejected the report of the conversation between Trump and Netanyahu about the renewal of the war and noted that the US president announced that he would not attack Iran before the congressional elections. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office also stated, without confirming or denying the details of this report, that Netanyahu is in regular contact with Trump and senior officials in the US government, but does not refer to the content of these conversations.
