Zamir Reportedly Warns U.S. Officials Iran War Could Delay Israeli Election

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir reportedly warned that renewed fighting with Iran could force Israel to postpone its general election, currently scheduled for October 27. A source familiar with the discussions said a major escalation close to the vote could make holding it on schedule impossible. The warning was reportedly delivered in talks with senior U.S. government and military officials. The IDF declined to comment on the reported remarks. The report describes a possible wartime contingency rather than an announced change to the election date.
