🔴Netanyahu and media outlets close to him are attempting to link today’s FlyDubai incident to Iran. However, as of now, no credible evidence has been presented to support Iran’s involvement. Netanyahu is facing a serious challenge in securing a majority of 61 seats ahead of the upcoming elections, while his rivals also face a difficult path to forming a government. In such a political stalemate, securitizing the electoral environment could potentially shift the political agenda in Israel. Linking the FlyDubai incident to Iran could be the starting point of such a narrative: first, creating a security case against Iran and then, if the crisis escalates, shifting the focus of electoral competition from domestic politics toward military confrontation.🔴
