Israel's Anti-Netanyahu Bloc Fractures as Election Focus Shifts

Israel's opposition bloc against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being undermined by internal infighting as it pursues merger talks, according to analysis. Naftali Bennett has spoken out on the haredi draft, broken promises, and repairing Israel. Meanwhile, as election attention turns to October 7, Netanyahu is pivoting to conspiracy theories. In related regional developments, Trump called the Iran war 'small potatoes' and Israel struck southern Lebanon, while Huckabee warned that settler violence is damaging Israel's image.
