Israel will respond to Iran's unprecedented attack after Saturday, the question is when and where, Mohammad Khalaf told BNT - journalist and teacher.
"Israel will answer. The US is already adamant that it will not support such a strike. Moreover, Biden said that Netanyahu should be satisfied with the victory and should stop there. However, there are other trends in Israel. The religious right in the government itself insists on attacking Iran, others think there is no need for a strike," commented the journalist.
According to his words, the escalation of the new conflict between Tehran and Tel Aviv will further destabilize the Middle East.
"There is not a single country with an interest in such a development. Iran wanted a show of strength. We call this "rough tenderness" - with so many drones and ballistic missiles and the result is zero. Yesterday, Iran's foreign minister said they could have done even more damage to Israel. Iran's weapons show effectiveness. A large number of these ballistic missiles had a technical failure, others did not reach Israel at all. There are two explanations. These drones are so effective in Ukraine, why not in Israel? Did Iran deliberately use such means so that there would be no victims of the attack and whether they did not understand earlier that this was only a show of force. We don't know what they agreed with the US.
"Netanyahu wants to have a wider war because he wants to push things until November, to have more power, to wait for Trump. At the same time, the internal crisis in Israel is great, public discontent against Benjamin Netanyahu is growing. Public opinion polls show that if elections were held today, Netanyahu would receive only 17 MPs. "He realizes that once he is removed from power, he will be held accountable for what has been happening in Israel since October 7," Khalaf said.
