Yair Golan, chairman of the Democratic Movement party, stated that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is capable of disrupting elections for alleged security reasons. Speaking at a conference hosted by Ynet and Yediot Ahronot, Golan expressed concern, saying, "We need to be careful." He asserted that Netanyahu has "done everything to prolong the war indefinitely" and is capable of setting "war goals that have no connection to real security reality, all to serve his political needs."
When asked if the discourse surrounding an attack on Iran is related to the upcoming elections, Golan responded, "It is not out of the question." He believes Netanyahu's actions are driven by a desire to extend the war for his own political benefit, suggesting that the prime minister might set unrealistic war objectives to maintain his political standing.
