I srael’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling early elections so that he and his government will be free to deal with Iran’s nuclear program this September-October, one of Israel’s best-informed political commentators said on Friday night.
Netanyahu is set on Sunday to announce that he is dissolving parliament and calling elections for September 4 — a year ahead of schedule. In the weeks immediately after that vote, said well-connected commentator Amnon Abramovich on the top-rated Channel 2 news, Netanyahu will head a transition government at home and have no need to worry about voter sentiment, and he knows that President Barack Obama will be paralyzed by the US presidential campaign.
Netanyahu has shocked the nation in the past few days by indicating that he will be calling elections a year ahead of their scheduled date in October 2013, leaving analysts baffled as to his reasoning. Speculation has focused on differences among the various coalition parties over legislation on national service for ultra-Orthodox Israelis, and over elements of the national budget.

bbbuuuuuttttt obama wants to wait till after the US election.
Yesss! As much as I hate rooting for another country to shame and whip our sitting President, I DO!!!!!
I hope Bidi is ready for the phone call from Obama. Hee hee. Talk about an October surprise.
Obama must be wetting his pants every time he thinks about how Bidi can really ***k up his reelection campaign by striking Iran and sending oil perhaps to $200+ a barrel.
Hey Bibi, if you take out Iran, the pantywaist Hussein 0bama will pound his chest and take credit, so please time it so it doesn’t help him on election day!
The elections may be held early, but the attack on Iran will NOT wait.
Here is my take on what will happen BEFORE summer.

SMART MAN
Well played Bibi...won’t make a lick of difference here to the Jewish voters, but its makes Barry look even more pathetic as a leader.
The only thing more dangerous that one incompetent politician running for reelection, is two of them running at the same time. Between Obama and Netanyahu, it looks to be a dangerous second half of the year.
Bibi/Israel ping
look for some stunningly blatant attempts by our government to screw with the Israeli elections.
or November or December or January,........Or never. Not to mention he doesn’t have a lock on winning a majority.
