Iran is taking advantage of President Biden’s perceived weakness to undermine the anticipated normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi crown prince is likely to decide on the normalization agreement with Israel only after the U.S. presidential elections.
Iran has threatened to destroy Israel if it initiates an all-out war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
In the Israeli security system, this Iranian threat is taken seriously. While not new, it appears Iran is closer to deciding on entering a regional war, a step it has avoided until now.
Intelligence sources in Israel estimate that Iran may attack Israel if a significant military conflict arises between Hezbollah and Israel, fearing a decisive blow to Hezbollah.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards are preparing Shia militias to move from Iraq to Lebanon to support Hezbollah.
The political echelon will soon have to decide where Israel is heading on the northern border, whether to continue containing the situation or to engage in a widespread war against Hezbollah, which refuses to withdraw its forces from the border.
A senior Israeli official stated, “If Hezbollah continues to attack Israel, the whole of southern Lebanon will look like Gaza, Beirut will not be immune.”
Great pessimism prevails in Israel following political meetings with Amos Hochstein regarding the possibility of achieving a ceasefire in Lebanon. The prevailing assessment in Israel is that a war with Hezbollah is inevitable.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recommend that the political leadership conclude the military operation in Rafah promptly and refocus on the confrontation with Hezbollah on the northern border.
Israel is acting cautiously, intending to let the Biden administration exhaust all political avenues with Lebanon.
The administration is also keen on achieving a political settlement in southern Lebanon to avert a war that could significantly impact President Biden’s election campaign.
Iran opposes a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the hostage deal, and Yahya Sinwar complies with this policy. Sinwar attributes the resignation of Ministers Gantz and Eisenkot from the government to his strategy and is convinced that the Netanyahu government will soon collapse.
For many years, Iran has helped Hamas and Islamic Jihad build a regular army and military outposts in the Gaza Strip to attack Israel.
The Biden administration is working to end the war before the task of completely destroying the military infrastructure that threatens Israel’s existence is completed. The political echelon must stick to this task.
The Hamas movement employs a sophisticated negotiation technique aimed at extracting concessions from Israel, known as the Salami method.
Despite seven months of conflict, Israel has yet to achieve its war objectives. However, it must remain resolute in its efforts until Hamas’s rule is dismantled.
The occupation of the Rafah crossing by the IDF is an important step in the beginning of the realization of the war goals of overthrowing the rule of Hamas. Israel must complete the task in order to create the strategic change necessary for a new era in the Gaza Strip.
