As the Israel-Iran ceasefire was implemented, contrasting claims of victory emerged from various leaders. In Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu gained political strength by presenting himself as a key figure who neutralized the threat from Iran. Two weeks prior, Netanyahu faced significant criticism, struggling with public and political opposition to his Gaza strategy. However, with rising approval ratings following his actions against Iran, he is positioned to potentially seek snap elections, leveraging a longstanding narrative instilling fear of Iran in Israeli society.
"In Israel, however, the emerging narrative is that the end result of the conflict with Iran has solidified the position of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
"Now, he can argue that he has severely weakened Israel's most dangerous regional enemy, Iran, and he claims that its nuclear programme has been destroyed and sent down the drain."
