Netanyahu Exaggerates Gaza Threat to Boost Electoral Image, Political Scientist Says

Dr. Emad Omar, a political science professor from the Gaza Strip, said Netanyahu was overstating the threat posed by Gaza to improve his electoral image.

Omar’s assessment linked Netanyahu’s portrayal of Gaza as a security danger to his political standing, casting it as an effort to bolster his appeal to voters.

The professor also said Palestinians had endured a war over the past three years that he described as a war of genocide.

His remarks contrasted the electoral considerations he attributed to Netanyahu with the experience of Palestinians living through the war.
