Opponents accuse Netanyahu of stoking tensions with Iran before Israel’s election
Reports circulated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have clashed with the Israeli military over initiating a possible escalation with Iran. Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been accused of inciting tensions with Iran before Israel's election season, amid reports that he may have clashed with the Israeli military over a potential escalation with Iran prior to the vote. The allegations stem from reports that Netanyahu and his military chief of staff disagreed over an instruction by the prime minister to carry out an action that the army feared could reignite the conflict with Iran. Netanyahu's office denied the reports, calling them "fake news" and "baseless" and stating that Israel would respond forcefully if Iran attacks first. Opposition candidates accuse Netanyahu of endangering regional stability for his political preservation. The upcoming election is expected to be a close race and marks another important test for the populist right, following Brazil's unexpected victory over President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
