Strict secret: Ovda, ora tăcerii; Hegseth, Netanyahu și războiul care așteaptă după urne

On October 19, 2026, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited Ovda Air Base in Israel without prior announcement, meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. The meeting's details remain unclear, including its duration and participants, with conflicting reports about the presence of Emirati representatives. The visit coincided with heightened military alert in Israel and a public endorsement of Netanyahu by Trump, linking electoral support to the confrontation with Iran. As Israel approaches elections on October 27, the political landscape is tense, with Netanyahu facing challenges from various parties amid ongoing security concerns.
