Middle East: Opposition warns of new war with Iran under Netanyahu
With growing tensions with Iran, a leading opposition politician is questioning Netanyahu's political legitimacy for a new military confrontation.
Jair Golan, leader of Israel's Democratic party, has warned of the dangers of another war with Iran under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, citing a lack of public trust in Netanyahu's leadership. Golan called for the swift formation of an alternative government, citing the rising likelihood of another confrontation with Iran. Netanyahu has reportedly been in talks with US President Donald Trump, amid speculation of a potential US-Israel joint attack on Iran.
Israel's President Izchak Herzog will begin consultations on forming a government on Wednesday, following a deadlock in the October 27 parliamentary election. Herzog has urged politicians to seek "creative solutions" to prevent another election.
