In light of U.S. media reports about the possibility of the start of new military attacks against Iran, the question has been raised of how far the occurrence of war could strengthen Benjamin Netanyahu’s position in the negotiations to form Israel’s next government.

In circumstances where Netanyahu may remain as prime minister of the interim government or be tasked with forming the new government, his role in decision-making regarding the initiation of a military operation and the political and legal consequences of such an action are under discussion.

Interview with Ben Sabbatyi, a researcher on Iran and Israel, and David Motai, journalist and director of Channel 98, the Iranian television network based in Israel.
