Analysts suggest that a potential departure of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not translate into a softening of the Israeli regime's regional policies. Among the political figures vying to succeed him, prominent voices advocate for the complete eradication of Hamas, an uncompromising stance against Iran, and viewing Turkey as a security threat, with some opposition factions holding even more aggressive positions than Netanyahu.

Political scientist Farkhod Karimov points out that there are no fundamental differences between the platforms of the ruling Likud party and opposition groups largely formed by former military personnel. Figures such as Eisenkot are not seen as proponents of a softer approach towards Iran or regional adversaries; rather, they push for carrying military campaigns through to the end, making dramatic shifts in domestic or foreign policy unlikely regardless of who holds the premiership.

Expert Kamoliddin Rabbimov further notes the inclusion of hardline figures like Avigdor Liberman within the opposition coalition, alongside the personal motivations of military leaders who have suffered familial losses in the ongoing conflict. Consequently, any transition of power within the Israeli regime is widely expected to maintain or even escalate pressure on Gaza and the broader Palestinian issue, rather than paving the way for diplomatic de-escalation.
