Can Netanyahu decide to strike Iran after the elections? An Israeli attack on the Tehran regime before the Oct. 27 poll appears to be off the table, but Netanyahu could strike after, using renewed fighting to pressure Eisenkot to join a wartime unity government. Trump could even support such a scenario after midterms.
