Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains firmly in office amid escalating military actions, including his March 30 order for a deeper invasion into southern Lebanon to expand a security buffer zone, signaling continued coalition control despite persistent death rumors debunked earlier this month. Recent polls show Likud gaining modestly from the Iran conflict but his right-wing bloc still short of a Knesset majority, fueling trader focus on the critical March 31 state budget deadline—failure could trigger snap elections before the mandated October 27 vote. Ongoing corruption trial testimony and public protests add pressure, though no no-confidence vote looms imminently; war outcomes and budget passage will heavily influence near-term stability.
