In Knesset, warn of Iran's plans for elections: 'real physical threat'

Assessment

The Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee chair has publicly warned that Iran may treat Israel's election campaign as a battlefield, with physical threats directed at senior officials including the prime minister. This shifts the security discussion from external military confrontation to the vulnerability of domestic political processes. The simultaneous criticism of Central Elections Committee appointments suggests internal readiness is also under scrutiny. The coming weeks will test whether these warnings lead to concrete security measures or remain rhetorical.
