Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu addressed reports about a possible attack on Iran, saying in an interview with ynet studio that "it's not certain anyone among us knows when and how an attack on Iran will happen. Everyone remembers the attack on Nasrallah, which came suddenly. With strategy you make war." Regarding the fall of the Knesset dissolution bill, he said, "War is not a good time for elections. We remember how much poison, incitement and dirt exists in such a campaign." According to him, "The main thing lacking in the IDF today is assault forces. Even in the north at Kaplan, only a small percentage arrive there. Sanctions cannot force someone to charge into battle."
