Netanyahu spent weeks pushing for a strike on Iran before Tuesday's vote, his army chief refused, and he then pushed for a smaller "action" the general feared would bait Iran into attacking Israel
Six sources told the Times the chief of staff found no urgent military need and said so, which strips the prime minister of the "security" cover for the timing.
A former defense minister has asked the attorney general to investigate it as treason.
Iranian sources say Israeli jets actually crossed into Iran's airspace over the weekend and Tehran chose not to shoot, because it read the flights as a trap to start the war before Trump had decided to join it.
Netanyahu's closing pitch tells you how it's going: an AI image of a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv, a warning that American military aid is ending, and a suggestion that Israel may need cryptocurrency to survive banking sanctions, which the Bank of Israel publicly shot down.
He is campaigning as the man who can save Israel from a world that's turned on it, while the generals who'd fight his war say the world turning IS THE POINT.
If he loses, his last lever is the one the Times' sources are warning about: a strike after the vote that blocks any rival from forming a government and forces a unity cabinet with him in it.
Israelis get one chance Tuesday to take that lever away.
