Netanyahu Campaigns with Dramatic Iran Illustration

gmx.net (German) —

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has published a dramatic illustration warning of an Iranian nuclear bomb threat over Tel Aviv, two days before the parliamentary election. Polls show his right-wing bloc is unlikely to secure a majority. Netanyahu cited entrepreneur Yuval Bloomberg calling it a "real and concrete existential threat," and claimed Israel has two years under US President Donald Trump to address the Iranian danger. He dismissed domestic debates as distractions, warning voters against supporting those unable to handle the task. His main rival, Gadi Eisenkot, accused Netanyahu of "lies and fear-mongering," saying he failed to achieve war goals against Iran. Polls project Netanyahu's bloc at around 50 seats, below the 61-seat majority threshold, with no clear winner emerging.
