Netanyahu says ‘indications’ enemies will try to attack ahead of elections
- On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned at Tel Nof Air Force Base that Israel's "enemies" may attempt attacks before the October 27 election, though he did not identify specific adversaries or disclose underlying intelligence.
- Critics argue Netanyahu is employing a decades-long campaign strategy to present himself as Israel's sole protector, while opponents cite his failure to heed warnings before the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack that killed thousands.

- With Tehran seeking to retaliate against Jerusalem, security assessments indicate Iran and regional actors could attempt election interference through cyber operations or physical attacks, though experts remain divided on whether the warning reflects genuine intelligence or political maneuvering.
