Netanyahu, desperate, now tells us we’ll die if we don’t re-elect him

The Times of Israel's founding editor David Horovitz reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, two days before the 2026 Israeli election, warned of a potential 'second Holocaust' if not re-elected, and is allegedly pressuring the IDF to carry out an Iran-related action that could trigger a miscalculation. Opposition leaders accuse him of stopping at nothing to stay in power.

The Times of Israel's founding editor David Horovitz reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, two days before the 2026 Israeli election, warned of a potential 'second Holocaust' if he is not re-elected, in a post illustrated with an AI-generated mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv. The article alleges that Netanyahu is pushing the IDF to carry out an unspecified military action 'relating to Iran' that the military fears might trigger a 'miscalculation.' This was reported by Channel 12's diplomatic reporter Yaron Avraham, who said IDF Chief Eyal Zamir has been resisting the action and demanding legal authorization. Netanyahu dismissed the report as 'nonsense,' while Defense Minister Israel Katz stated Israel had no intention of initiating an attack on Iran before the elections. The article also cites a CNN report that Netanyahu has been pushing US President Donald Trump to partner in a renewed assault on Iran, but Trump did not give a green light. Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot warned that Netanyahu will 'stop at nothing' to stay in power. The article frames Netanyahu's actions as desperate and dangerous, driven by his addiction to office.
