Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement about indications of an Iranian attack expected before the elections succeeded in stirring up a storm in the political system, placing the security issue at the center of public debate.
Following the developments and the widespread focus on the warning, political analyst Amit Segal offered a sharp analysis of how the election campaign agenda is being managed.
In a post he published, Segal addressed the rules of the political game and wrote: "Rule number 1: Elections are a battle over the agenda. Netanyahu wants security, the opposition wants haredim."
