Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may launch a military attack against Iran following elections on October 27 to pressure political rivals into joining a wartime unity government, according to Al-Monitor. While an Iranian strike before the vote remains unlikely, such an operation afterward could reshape Israel's fractured political landscape by creating security circumstances that compel opposition parties to abandon their resistance to governing alongside Netanyahu.
The analysis suggests Netanyahu could exploit a military confrontation to overcome current obstacles to coalition formation, shifting domestic pressure from his political opponents toward acceptance of wartime governance structures.
