      Understanding it doesn’t automatically mean agreeing with it

        Indeed, if the overwhelming majority supports a change to the constitution, the change can be made.

      The war is quite likely to become a frozen conflict, without a treaty resolving anything.

      Strictly speaking, you could then delay elections indefinitely.

        Blame the escalation management that allowed russia to dig in and pull its head out it’s arse.

        This war could have been over by now if the “partners” didn’t delay more effective weapon systems for months.

        ATACMS, even the ancient model they gave us, showed it’s extreme effectiveness, and the world didn’t end. Yet it was delayed until after the summer offensive ground to a halt.

        F-16s just started training, even though it was requested first around sprind 2022.

        14 Challengers and 31 Abrams for a 1200 km front line. Counteroffense harder! Why aren’t you making progress?

        Hmm yes, Israel definitely needs those 155mm artillery shells to surgically attack Gaza.

        The list goes on and on.

    Well, their enemy in this war isn’t exactly known for not engaging in election interference.

    There is also some difficulty with holding the election in occupied territories.
