Days before the elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview to Channel 14, linking the election results to action against Iran. In the interview, Netanyahu said that the election results will have a 'total' impact on the ability to act against Iran, and claimed that if Gadi Eisenkot and his partners form the next government, they will not act against Iran. Netanyahu said he intends to topple the regime in Iran, not just destroy the nuclear project. Regarding the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu rejected the claim that the campaign is stagnating and argued that Hamas and Israel's enemies are trying to achieve tactical gains to influence the elections. Netanyahu attacked the small right-wing parties, especially Ofer Winter, and called on right-wing voters not to vote for them, claiming they could transfer votes to the left. He also addressed threats against him and his family, recalling the public atmosphere before the Rabin assassination.
