The U.S. military defeat in its war with Iran, in stark contrast to all the slogans and claims Trump had made before launching the war, was another factor that affected Netanyahu’s political standing.
The latest Israeli election can be described as one of the most fragile and precarious in the history of the regime. A review of Israel’s electoral process over the past two decades reveals a gradual downward trend. During this period, no party has been able to secure an outright majority in parliament and form a government on its own.
As a result, parties have been compelled to form coalitions with other political factions in order to establish a government. In some cases, these alliances have even extended to Arab parties whose candidates have managed to win seats in the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.
Another factor that must be taken into account when analyzing the latest Israeli election is the impact of the crises and challenges arising from the Israeli regime’s war against Iran and the Resistance Front. Just as the latest U.S. election cannot be analyzed without considering developments and the consequences of the war with Iran, Israel’s election has also been influenced by these developments. Undoubtedly, the war with Iran played a role in the election results and even affected the rise of Eisenkot and his potential mandate to form a coalition government.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military defeat in its war with Iran, in defiance of all the slogans and claims Trump had made before the conflict began, was another factor that undermined Netanyahu’s political position. Taken together, these developments have made it increasingly difficult for a figure like Netanyahu to remain in power in Israel. Despite his party winning more seats than its rival, the task of forming a government has been entrusted to his political rival, Gadi Eisenkot.
