Senior Israeli officials assess that a series of strategic failures by the clerical regime, across the fields of nuclear development, regional alliances, and deterrence, have weakened Iran and left it more vulnerable than ever in the current confrontation.
Behind Turkey’s mediation initiatives between the United States and Iran, as well as in other arenas, officials in Jerusalem and Western capitals identify a broader strategy aimed at managing regional risks, strengthening Turkey’s international standing, and advancing a neo-Ottoman vision. At its core stands President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ambition to establish Turkey as an unavoidable regional power.
The Lebanon Model in Gaza
Hamas is working to remain the dominant military force in the Gaza Strip behind the scenes, alongside a formal civilian administration, in order to ensure full control for years to come.
Behind the scenes of Hamas’s internal elections, Iran has identified Khalil al-Hayya as a key figure in the movement’s leadership, one capable of preserving deterrence and sustaining the armed struggle against Israel.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas has issued a new statement pledging to implement reforms within the PA’s institutions in line with the demands of the international community.
Senior political sources in Jerusalem say that, in practice, incitement continues and salaries to terrorists are still being paid, arguing that Abbas is attempting to mislead the international community in order to secure a role for the PA in governing the Gaza Strip.
Senior security sources report that various terrorist organizations are establishing a presence in southern Syria and planning attacks against Israel.
Israel has reportedly warned President Ahmad al-Sharaa that if he does not act to prevent terrorist activities targeting Israel, it will take full military action itself.
Senior security officials report significant unrest in the Jordanian street following the government’s decision to outlaw the Muslim Brotherhood movement.
They warn that the Brotherhood might be forced underground and could intensify its subversive activities against King Abdullah.
According to these officials, the King is also considering declaring the Brotherhood’s political wing a terrorist organization or dissolving Parliament and calling for new elections.
Israel’s security establishment is preparing to implement President Donald Trump’s immigration plan, which would allow residents of the Gaza Strip to leave voluntarily for destinations abroad.
Trump has dismantled long-standing taboos surrounding the Palestinian issue, granting renewed legitimacy to the term “transfer.”
Deporting the terrorists abroad presents a significant challenge for the Israeli Mossad, which will endeavor to prevent their terrorist activities against the State of Israel.
Some of the terrorists will arrive in Istanbul, Turkey, where the military wing of Hamas operates under the auspices of Turkish intelligence and President Erdogan.
Hamas is striving to buy time and prevent Israel from resuming military operations in the Gaza Strip to maintain its grip on power and demonstrate that Israel has failed to achieve its war objectives.
Senior security officials estimate that Hamas is counting on the Trump administration to prevent Israel from resuming hostilities. As a result, Hamas is taking measures to avoid giving Israel any justification for renewing the conflict.
