A sociopath desperate to stay in power (and out of prison). — Netanyahu ‘posted an AI-generated image of a nuclear mushroom cloud destroying Tel Aviv, telling Israeli voters to choose him or risk nuclear annihilation. … Israel’s Channel 12 news reported that the prime minister and the armed forces chief of staff, Lt Gen Eyal Zamir, clashed in recent days over a directive to the military which could “potentially spark an immediate conflagration with Iran at a very sensitive juncture”, by provoking a miscalculation by Iran. Zamir is reported to have requested the directive, the details of which were not specified, to be presented to him in writing. Netanyahu denied the report, and the defence ministry later denied any intention to carry out military operations against Iran. On Monday however, CNN reported that Netanyahu had tried to convince Donald Trump to launch a renewed assault on Iran in recent weeks, renewing the war both men started in February.’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/26/netanyahu-reportedly-pressured-israel-military-attack-iran-runup-to-election
