US intelligence officials reportedly back Netanyahu’s assessment. Ret. U.S. Army Major General Randy Manner calls it pure politics from a leader in the fight of his political life:
“He wants nothing more than Iran or anybody to attack him.”
Manner expects Hezbollah and Iran to keep holding their fire until the votes are counted, since the surest way to reelect a wartime prime minister is to hand him a war.

Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu stood in front of a fighter jet and warned that Israel’s enemies plan to attack before the election, and Israel’s own army radio then reported there is no new intelligence and alert levels haven’t moved
Fox reported US intelligence shares his assessment. Israeli army radio reported the security establishment was surprised by it.
An IRGC colonel offered the mirror image: the attack anyone should worry about is Israel’s, because losing the vote means prison.
Randy Manner spent 36 years in uniform and calls the warning a political statement, start to finish.
A prime minister trailing badly gets nothing from quiet and everything from a siren.
Israel has struck Hezbollah daily for months without an answer, and Manner believes absolutely that the silence is deliberate, meant to deny Netanyahu a wartime rally, and that Iran will sit still for the same reason.
If somebody does attack Israel before the vote, ask who benefits.
