Benjamin Netanyahu is three weeks from an election he cannot afford to lose, because if he does, he goes to prison.
He is still on trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, and he WILL end up in prison unless something BIG happens to stall proceedings.
Something like a major escalation with Iran. A real Iranian strike gives him the one thing a courtroom will not, a reason to freeze the country, rally the base, and postpone the election.
Watch and see.

Over 100 BBC staff have signed a letter to director-general Tim Davie and head of HR Deborah Turness, warning that the broadcaster is "often performing PR for the Israeli government and military."
They say the BBC’s coverage of Israel’s assault on Gaza has repeatedly failed to meet its own editorial standards, with "much of the BBC’s coverage in this area is defined by anti-Palestinian racism."
“We call on the BBC to do better for our audiences and recommit to our values of impartiality, honesty and reporting without fear or favour,” the letter reads.
“Israel & the United States are the biggest threats to humanity & you are feeding the monster. Israel attacks iran illegally while it continues the genocide of Palestinans....”

If Israel carries on with its bombardment of Gaza, then surely every government around the world is going to ask: what is the point of international law if we can do what we like?
Megan was diagnosed with ocular melanoma in 2020.
Her tumour caused her vision to deteriorate. She was told 4 months ago that her cancer had spread to the liver and that the cancer is uncurbable. Regular eye checks can detect the cancer & potentially save lives. @Eveningnews.💙
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 So amazing to see the #Palestine team at the #Olympics.
We wish the team great success and hope this shows the world how determined & resilient Palestinians are, to compete at the leading international sporting event whilst living under a brutal occupation. #FreePalestine
