And separately, Channel 12 is reporting a rift between Netanyahu and his own military chief, Eyal Zamir, over an Iran-related order. Netanyahu is calling that report "nonsense".
That's everything we know.
Why this mattersSo Israel votes in two days. And its Prime Minister just opened the final stretch of the campaign with a threat to Tehran.
Netanyahu has built this whole campaign around the war with Iran. He and the US started that war in February.
Five days ago he told the Jerusalem Post that Israel had clear warnings Iran wanted to influence the election. He said Israel would respond with force Iran can't even imagine.
So this is the same warning. Just sharper, and closer to the vote.
The day before this video, Netanyahu posted himself in front of a fighter jet, on the phone to Donald Trump, saying they'd finish the job together.
Four days before that, he said he'd sent a directive to topple Iran's government.
But here's the part that isn't confirmed.
Channel 12 says there's an unprecedented clash between Netanyahu and Eyal Zamir, the IDF's Chief of Staff. Zamir has led the military since March last year, well before this war began.
According to that report, Zamir is resisting an order tied to Iran. He wants a full discussion and Netanyahu's signed legal authorisation first. Nobody has said what the order actually is. Officials fear it could trigger a fast-moving confrontation with Iran.
A separate report says Zamir told a private meeting last week that he sees no need to strike Iran before the election, but that the military will act if it decides a strike is necessary.
So Israel's top general is saying, through his own staff, that he sees no military case for acting before voters do.
Netanyahu rejects all of it. He says quote "I instructed the IDF and the Mossad to topple the regime."
Unnamed political voices quoted by Channel 12 dismissed the election-advantage claim. A security source told the same channel that history will remember the role Zamir has played in recent days.
So one side says there's no rift. The other side, unnamed, says there's one serious enough to remember.
Yair Lapid, the opposition leader, wrote on social media that Netanyahu wants to set off a confrontation with Iran just to delay the election. He said Netanyahu has to go.
And Donald Trump was asked, on Fox News, whether strikes on Iran could start again. He talked about finishing it off or making a deal, and said there are no games being played.
The US has sent a third aircraft carrier group toward the Persian Gulf. Trump has floated resuming strikes after the US midterms, now just over a week away.
So here's what we don't know. Whether Zamir would actually carry out a strike if ordered. What Iran does next. And whether Washington backs Netanyahu's threat, or shares Zamir's caution.
Right now, the Prime Minister is threatening Tehran in public. Whether his own military chief agrees is a question nobody in Israel's government will answer on the record.
