Netanyahu drops out of Israel election

As regional tensions escalate, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of a possible attack by "enemies" on the country ahead of Israel's parliamentary elections. "From the air force base, relying on the long arm of Israel, I send you this message: Do not fall short of us; not now, not ever. Our long arm will reach you anywhere, anytime," he said in a video message in Hebrew. Netanyahu stressed that Israel is conducting operations "nonstop on all fronts" and that its forces have killed more than 100 "terrorists" in the Gaza Strip in recent weeks. Israel's parliamentary elections are scheduled for November 25.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that there are signs that the country’s enemies will try to attack Israel as elections approach. He warned these countries and groups: “Do not engage us; not now, not ever. Our long arm will reach you anywhere, anytime.” Netanyahu made the remarks in a video message from the Tel Nof Air Force Base in front of a fighter jet. He said Israel was operating “nonstop on all fronts,” referring to recent military operations in Gaza and Lebanon. The Israeli prime minister also said that more than 100 people he called “terrorists” had been killed in Gaza alone in recent weeks. He also referred to Israel's operations in Lebanon. Netanyahu said Israel was facing "heavy pressure" to retreat and abandon its military gains, adding that he would not allow such a thing. Israel's parliamentary elections are scheduled for November 25.

Few notes: • - Netanyahu forcing himself on UAE in a visit that was limited to airport shows level of deep insecurity by PM before Israeli election • • - UAE has yet to release a photo of meeting and has not adhered to Bibi’s request to deny Oct 7 warnings • • - It’s now NYT, Haaretz, Atlantic, Ynet and WSJ all reporting warnings to Netanyahu before the attack • • As Israeli elections near (10/27), expect Bibi to use his power and pull all the stops in order to maintain his hold on power. Recent polls show him trailing against centrist Eisenkot, but 4 weeks is lot of time in Israeli politics

Israel: Netanyahu attacks five opposition parties after they agree to unite their efforts in next month's Knesset elections to oust him, claiming they will form a government with the support of Arab parties. This was Netanyahu's first comment on the agreement between the leaders of the five parties, including Yesh Atid party leader Gadi Eisenkot and opposition leader Yair Lapid.

With one month to go until the Israeli general election, the opposition led by Netanyahu's political rivals is gaining momentum. Opinion polls predict a significant decrease in the number of seats the ruling party will win. However, Netanyahu is skilled at coalition negotiations, and it is said that even if he loses the position of the largest party, he may still be able to form a government.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz: — Netanyahu will make a "lightning visit" to New York to deliver a speech at the United Nations aimed at appealing to his voters, before returning without meeting President Trump. — The speech will focus heavily on the war involving Iran and close cooperation with the American president. — Netanyahu is expected to emphasize the message that "Israel has changed the Middle East," in an attempt to divert attention from the failures of October 7, 2023.

In which country will Netanyahu begin his election campaign?

Netanyahu recently said in closed-door talks with his associates that even if he fails to form the next government, he has no intention of resigning. "I will serve as the chairman of the opposition and we will win the next elections," he said. The message is also directed internally to the Likud: Don't start the succession battle. According to sources in the party, even in the event of a loss, it will be very difficult to formulate an internal move against Netanyahu. On the other hand, Herzog is already signaling that in the case of Plunter, he intends to be an active player: "I will do everything so that there are no repeat elections." Those around him emphasize that the law leaves the president broad discretion in managing the process of forming a government.

Netanyahu in the abyss of survival elections Zahra Ploui - IRNA reporter Less than 50 days before the Israeli general elections, Benjamin Netanyahu has entered the electoral race in a situation where his position in the right-wing camp and the position of the Likud party are no longer as stable as before. Recent polls indicate the lead of rivals such as Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett, and at the same time, the case of the Netanyahu government's performance in response to the October 7, 2023 attack remains one of the main axes of the political competition; a situation that has led the Israeli Prime Minister to once again highlight security threats and try to preserve the right-wing coalition. @IRNA_1313

Netanyahu launches his election campaign from Mount Hermon, brandishing threats of force against Iran, Gaza, and Lebanon. His camp remains short of a 61-seat majority, according to polls, due to the October 7th attack.

Ahead of the first elections since October 7, Netanyahu makes a military appearance on Mount Hermon amid a sharp decline in support.

50 days to Israel’s general election. • • A new video from Netanyahu’s campaign mocks his main rival, Gadi Eisenkot, over his English language skills. Some in his camp attempted to portray it as racist, but that characterization is difficult to sustain. • • Separately, recent polls from last night suggest the two political blocs could emerge with exactly the same number of seats, raising the prospect of another political deadlock.

Netanyahu's Dilemma: Small New Parties Splintering the Right-Wing Vote? The emergence of small right-wing parties complicates the Israeli Prime Minister's efforts to remain in power amidst a struggle with the Jewish opposition. Right-wing politician Ofer Winter launched a political party called "The People of Israel," raising concerns that Smotrich's party might fail to enter the Knesset. Former Israeli Ambassador to Washington Gilad Erdan intends to establish a party to contest the October 27 elections. Netanyahu: Anyone who doesn't pass the electoral threshold is wasting votes. We will bring disaster upon ourselves. Either withdraw or unite with the existing parties.

Is Israel nearing the end of the Netanyahu era? Al Jazeera: Netanyahu's tightening control over the Likud party's electoral list, maintaining an alliance with the Haredi parties, accelerating the passage of controversial laws, making long-term appointments to sensitive institutions, and even providing permanent security arrangements for his family members all indicate a change in his political calculations. "Yossi Werter," a senior analyst for the Haaretz newspaper, wrote in a note that Netanyahu is aware of the difficulty of achieving a Knesset majority in the upcoming elections and is willing to pay the price of electoral defeat to maintain the cohesion of the right-wing bloc. @IRNA_1313

During a meeting of the Likud Constitution Committee, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted that an escalation could occur in the coming days. • • "I support holding the primaries, but there is a possibility that we could face an exceptional security situation that would make it difficult to hold campaign events. It could coincide with election day or occur beforehand, making it difficult to conduct the vote," the prime minister said.
