Netanyahu Targets Iran and Domestic Opponents in Dual-Front Strategy

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a security cabinet meeting that only force works when people are afraid of you, framing his governing philosophy for both foreign and domestic challenges. A Haaretz analysis argues his coalition is pursuing regime change in Iran while simultaneously targeting domestic political and judicial opponents labeled the enemy within. The piece warns that aggressive domestic political campaigns are planned for after the war, suggesting Netanyahu views the post-conflict period as an opportunity to consolidate power at home.
