Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak warned in an interview with 103fm that an Israeli attack on Iran could disrupt the swearing-in of the Knesset and lead to the formation of a unity government. Barak accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of dragging Israel into war to cling to his seat, and claimed there is no intelligence information requiring immediate action against Iran. According to him, a war of distraction would create a state of emergency that would make it difficult to swear in the Knesset, since during war the government has the authority to order a ban on assembly. Barak also attacked Netanyahu over the October 7 failures and the failure to dismantle Hamas, and called for leaving the issue of confrontation with Iran to a new government.
