General elections were held in Israel on October 27, but a government has not been formed yet. Negotiations between Netanyahu's party, Likud, and the opposition party, Yashar, were cancelled. In the US, the 2027 defense budget draft includes article 219, which includes the integration of the US and Israeli armies.
Quoting the words of a person with knowledge of the talks, the Financial Times (FT) newspaper wrote, "Netanyahu calls him every day (to encourage him to restart the war). Those who do not want war, inside and outside the White House, are trying to oppose it." The newspaper states that Arab and Muslim leaders are concerned about Netanyahu's constant lobbying for Trump to restart combat operations. Another source, in his statement to the British press, emphasized that Netanyahu wants the military operation against Iran to restart, but that there is currently no "pressure" to convince Trump on this issue.
'No action required'
Trump, on the other hand, seems to have listened to these views of his Gulf allies. In a post shared on his social media, Trump announced that he preferred to maintain the economic blockade rather than launch a new military attack against Iran and said, "Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and others would prefer the current situation to continue." Stating that he does not think there is a need for a new military operation against Iran at the moment, and stating that the war with Iran is in the process of ending, Trump said, "We are seeing momentum towards the end of this conflict. I think it will end pretty soon." The US President stated that the talks with Iran are going well and that he hopes the process will end soon.
Negotiations with Netanyahu's party canceled
Following the general elections held on October 27 in Israel, while a government had not yet been formed, MPs took the oath and began their duties in the parliament. The pose that Netanyahu took with the opposition leaders after the oath attracted attention. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's use of racist expressions against the parties representing Palestinian Israeli citizens in his speech in the parliament drew reaction. Eisenkot, the leader of the main opposition party Yashar, who was assigned to form the government, reacted to the racist statements and ordered to cancel the negotiations with Netanyahu's party, Likud.
