The head of the Israeli Democrats party, Yair Golan, said the likelihood of launching a campaign against Iran is increasing and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enjoys neither public trust nor moral legitimacy to manage a war. Golan warned against using a possible attack on Iran to prolong Netanyahu's stay in power, amid Israeli and American reports of a possible renewed military confrontation after the US Congress elections.
One source focused on the rising likelihood of a campaign against Iran and the lack of public trust in Netanyahu, another focused on the political motive and the possibility of using an attack to prolong Netanyahu's stay in power, while the third presented the warning against allowing Netanyahu to lead a new war under the framing "Israel's security at stake".
