Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to call for an election after the conclusion of Operation Swords of Iron in Gaza, according to statements from his confidant Yaakov Amidror and Labor Minister Yoav Ben Tzur. Amidror stated that Netanyahu will be forced to go to elections within 90 days, while Ben Tzur emphasized that elections should be called after the war. However, Likud MK Tally Gotliv criticized Ben Tzur for his statement, accusing him of having 'zero loyalty to the government.' The leader of Israel's Labor Party also called for the dismissal of an army rabbi who made controversial remarks about the country's territorial claims. A minister initially confirmed that Netanyahu will have to call for an election after the war, but later retracted the statement.
