Netanyahu Uses Gaza War for Electoral Gain and Seeks to Prolong It, Analyst Says

Israeli affairs expert Dr Mahmoud Shaker Siam has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of exploiting the Gaza front for electoral purposes and seeking to keep the war going.

Siam, a writer and political researcher from the Gaza Strip, said Israel was trying to use any incident in the territory as a pretext for fresh attacks.

He warned that this approach would lead to further bloodshed, linking the exploitation of events in Gaza to renewed military action.

His assessment placed Netanyahu’s electoral interests at the centre of the criticism, portraying a prolonged conflict as serving the prime minister’s political aims.
