Al Jazeera reports that as Israel prepares for national elections on October 27, opposition leaders like Gadi Eisenkot and Yair Lapid are advocating for a tougher stance against Iran, with some even calling for the destruction of its nuclear program or the demolition of its economy. However, they express concern that Prime Minister Netanyahu might resort to military escalation before the vote to influence the outcome, despite his recent statements denying such plans. Opposition leaders have accused Netanyahu of "political fearmongering" after he posted a video from an airbase warning of potential enemy attacks before the elections.
