War with Iran likely regardless of who leads Israel

Regardless of who ultimately emerges victorious in Israel's deadlocked general election, it is highly likely that the next prime minister will continue to pursue actions against Iran, according to emerging reports. While Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing bloc has suffered a significant loss in the election, with his party descending from 32 to 26 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, it remains unclear if this will alter their stance towards Iran.

The opposition Yesh Atid Party, led by Gadi Eisenkot, has also failed to secure a majority in the parliament, leaving both leaders eager to form a coalition government. Netanyahu's hawkish stance on Iran, which includes the potential for renewed military action, is unlikely to change even if Eisenkot succeeds him as prime minister.

Both leaders share the goal of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and weakening Tehran's proxy network.
