Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu capitalized on renewed security concerns to improve his standing in election polls over the past week, Al-Monitor reported. A meeting with the United Arab Emirates leadership and a reported attack on a FlyDubai aircraft elevated security issues to the forefront of the campaign.
The developments allowed Netanyahu to refocus the election narrative around military and diplomatic matters, areas where polling suggests he holds advantages with voters concerned about national threats.
