Likud Demands 10-Minute Delay for Opposition Broadcasts Ahead of Election

Three days before Israeli elections, the Likud party demanded a ten-minute delay for live broadcasts of opposition speeches at a rally on Saturday. Likud claims the rally, organized by the "October 7th Families Forum," risks prohibited election campaigning. The forum condemned the demand, accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu of trying to silence victims' families and hide the truth. The rally aims to pressure the government for a state commission of inquiry into the October 7th failures.

Israel's Defense Minister Accuses Opposition of Aiding Enemies

Israel's Defense Minister Accuses Opposition of Aiding Enemies

Defense Minister Israel Katz warned of potential enemy attacks timed to influence Israel's October 27 election and blamed opposition leaders for any future assaults. Opposition figures, including Yair Lapid, Gadi Eisenkot, and Yair Golan, condemned Katz's remarks as politically motivated and damaging to national security. Despite Katz's claims of possessing intelligence, no concrete threat regarding the election has been confirmed by the security establishment. The controversy occurs as U.S. and Israeli militaries reportedly plan for potential strikes against Iran after the U.S. midterm elections.
