Days before Israeli elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempted to advance a military strike against Iran, according to a report by Channel 12 News. The head of the Mossad, Roman Gofman, reportedly supported the initiative. However, senior security officials expressed reservations, warning that a military confrontation at such a sensitive time could lead to an Iranian response, escalate security tensions, and potentially impact the elections themselves.
The plan reportedly became complicated when the information reached the United States. Washington intervened and acted to block the proposed strike, preventing it from being carried out. The report also revealed disagreements between Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir regarding the operation. Zamir allegedly insisted on a professional discussion and official approvals before proceeding, while the Prime Minister's office denied these claims, stating that Netanyahu had clarified in real-time that an attack on Iran before the elections was not on the agenda.
