Iran in Israel's Crosshairs Whoever Wins: Netanyahu or Eisenkot?

An analytical report published by Reuters said Israel is heading to parliamentary elections next week between the Likud bloc led by Benjamin Netanyahu and the opposition camp led by Gadi Eisenkot, with assessments that the result will not fundamentally change Israeli policy toward Iran and the Palestinians. Officials and analysts agree that Iran will remain at the top of Israel's national security priorities, and that differences among Israeli political forces concern the degree of military escalation, the future of settlement in the West Bank, and the scope of diplomacy, with warnings that the absence of a political horizon raises the likelihood of a wide confrontation in the West Bank.
