As Netanyahu prepares for elections, his foes in Iran and Lebanon could get a vote
Netanyahu faces pressure from daily missile attacks and Hezbollah violence while Israel's government nears a scheduled October election deadline, with early polls possible.
- Soon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must decide when to hold Israel's next elections, with the governing coalition able to dissolve and elections requiring three months' notice before an end of October deadline.
- In recent days, Hezbollah intensified strikes in northern Israel, angering residents including people in traditional Netanyahu strongholds, while Iran's missile forces continue daily attacks disrupting millions of voters.
- Despite recent political turmoil, Israeli governments rarely finish full terms, and Netanyahu said there is no remarkable change in Israeli public opinion.
- Last week, Netanyahu said he hopes for September or October, with a fall vote near the Oct. 7 anniversary, while members of the 'America First' wing of the Republican Party accuse Israel of dragging the U.S. into war.
- Beyond ballots, the Gaza war and an International Criminal Court indictment of Netanyahu could further tarnish Israel's international standing, affecting the global economy amid regional disruptions.
