Netanyahu's defense stance
During a meeting of the Likud Party, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu questioned the possibility of holding the scheduled parliamentary elections on October 27, 2026, citing the potential for an exceptional security situation that could hinder voting. His statements suggest an inclination to create security and military crises in order to postpone the elections, especially given Likud's inability to achieve a parliamentary majority or form a ruling coalition. He also emphasized that the government aims to weaken the Palestinian Authority through measures such as separating Gaza from the West Bank, continuing destruction and siege operations, and confiscating the Authority's revenues to cripple its financial capabilities. The government is focused on expansion and settlement activities, with no intention of reaching a political settlement with the Palestinians, while escalating military actions and threatening various areas—reflecting an escalatory approach tied to its expansionist agenda.
