    The election is almost guaranteed to happen though, all they’re protesting over is the timing.

    Netanyahu is claiming he wants to wait till the war is over. The protestors are saying that he’s just using that to keep himself out of jail.

    The longest Netanyahu can draw this struggle out is October 2026. Another election is guaranteed, Netanyahu isn’t going to suddenly make himself dictator with his tiny popularity.

      Guaranteed until this “war” stretches on and he needs to delay the election because Hamas just launched a new attack and he needs to stay in government to deal with them.
