High voter turnout reflects the intensity of political debate within Israel, where domestic issues have increasingly taken centre stage alongside regional conflicts. Netanyahu’s government has sought to curb judicial independence, pressured government officials, intelligence services and the military, largely in an attempt to escape his bribery trial. With most of Israel having moved to the right, Israeli politics is no longer divided primarily along traditional left-right lines, but between pro-Netanyahu and anti-Netanyahu camps. Higher turnout likely indicates greater mobilization among those opposed to Netanyahu rather than his loyalists: Prof. Scott Lucas, Ireland-based political analyst @SanaMaqboool #IsraelPolitics #Netanyahu #IsraeliElections #ScottLucas #PakistanTV

The joint visit by representatives of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye to Iran marks the first major joint effort by the signatories of the Makkah Defence Pact to address the Iran war. The participation of Saudi Arabia’s Defence Minister, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Türkiye’s intelligence chief is particularly significant. While details of their meeting with Iran’s Mohsen Rezaei remain unknown, the message may have been to encourage Tehran to reach a compromise without appearing to capitulate: Kamran Bokhari, US-based Middle East affairs expert @KamranBokhari @SanaMaqboool #MakkahDefencePact #PakistanSaudiArabia #IranWar #RegionalDiplomacy #PakistanTV

Israel is unlikely to launch military action on its own, as it cannot operate independently of the United States. During the June 2025 airstrikes, Israel worked closely with Washington, which also struck three Iranian nuclear facilities. Similarly, in the war that began on February 28, Israel participated in the early stages before the US took the lead. Given the importance of the issue to Washington, any future military action would be led by the United States, with Israel participating if necessary: Kamran Bokhari, US-based Middle East affairs expert @KamranBokhari @SanaMaqboool #Israel #UnitedStates #IranConflict #MiddleEast #PakistanTV

US military operations depend on regional partners allowing access to their territory and airspace. Any agreement that allows Iran to set fees for ships entering and leaving the Persian Gulf would keep oil prices high, causing people to continue suffering from higher prices: Brig.

Both the US and Iran are looking for peace, but their terms differ. Washington wants to protect its regional allies and ensure the free flow of strategic materials, while Tehran wants to control the Gulf and international traffic and spread instability through proxies: Brig.
