Netanyahu presses Trump for major Iran air campaign after parliamentary majority loss


Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing for further strikes on Iran after Tuesday’s midterm elections, The Associated Press reported Monday.

Citing officials, the outlet said a return to full-scale war with Iran could help Netanyahu form an emergency government after he and his far-right allies lost their parliamentary majority in last week’s elections.

The officials also said diplomatic efforts made progress Monday, with Qatari mediators holding two rounds of talks with Iranian officials last week and more talks planned for this week.

One Israeli official also said Netanyahu was working with senior Trump administration officials to persuade the president to launch a quick but extensive air campaign but that Trump did not appear to have made a decision.

Netanyahu also pushed for the new strikes during a call with Trump over the weekend, the outlet said.
