The Iran strike Trump halted: 'We were about to destroy what remained of the regime'
At the top of Likud a debate is underway these days: Does the Oct. 27 election look more like the loss of 1992, or the rout of 1999?As in 1992—when Yitzhak Shamir lost to Yitzhak Rabin and the Oslo Accords were born—this race, too, is marked by the opposition outflanking the right-wing government from the right, against a security backdrop, with a former IDF chief of staff heading the camp.
