PM’s office said to fume after Likud MK says ‘we’re on verge’ of attack on Iran this weekend

Likud MK Moshe Saada sparked controversy on Thursday after stating in a TV interview that Israel was "on the verge of an attack in Iran — perhaps even this weekend." The Prime Minister's Office reportedly reacted with anger, leading Saada to clarify on X that he was referring to a potential US attack, not an Israeli one. Officials quickly dismissed his comments, with one stating, "He doesn’t know anything, he’s just blathering." Following the incident, Likud reportedly instructed its lawmakers to refrain from public statements about the war. This development occurred as US President Donald Trump has also threatened a "massive attack" on Iran, indicating Israel "would join in two minutes if I asked them to."
