Iran ceasefire leaves Netanyahu without an electoral lifeline
The lightning war in Iran, launched in February alongside the United States, ends with no winners but one clear
Benjamin Netanyahu. The ceasefire agreement meets none of Israel's objectives, and the prime minister is left with no achievements to showcase four months before the elections. His relationship with Donald Trump, his key ally, has deteriorated into open confrontation.
The military record is discouraging. In forty days more than a million tonnes of explosives were launched in Tomahawk missiles alone, yet Iran did not collapse. The ceasefire is a leap forward to escape backwards. The Netanyahu-Trump relationship cracked: it is rumoured the Israeli called the American "bald". Trump was the one who pushed for the attack, according to sources close to both; now both are looking for political ways out.
Some doubt the war is really over, pointing to a tactical pause to rearm and to the World Cup as a cover. What is certain is that Netanyahu has been sidelined. His career, which staked everything on war, now faces a worse scenario: no results, no allies in Washington and a society questioning the cost. If the ceasefire holds, the prime minister may have signed his own electoral sentence.
