Netanyahu sees redemption in Iran war, but Gaza looms large
During a 12 -day air strike ordered by Netanyahu, Israel bombed nuclear areas in the depths of Iran, eliminated most of the best military commanders and scientists of the enemy of the belt and targeted multiple missile facilities throughout the country.
Both countries agreed to make a ceasefire on Tuesday, and although he was accused of accusing of violating the agreement in the hours after being declared, Netanyahu was quick to demand a total of victory.
“The Israeli State has achieved great historical successes and positioned itself side by side with the superpowers of the world.” He said.
The tone of joy was far from October 7, 2023, when a surprise attack of Hamas militants from Gaza gave the most deadly security failure in the history of Israel the most deadly security in its history and that Netanyahu was carefully prepared as the protector of the nation and triggered a collapse at public support.
Netanyahu’s last discourse “October 7 completely deleted. He’s just talking about Iran,” he said. However, the war against Hamas in Gaza is still advised, a constant reminder of 2023 Blunders and will be quickly built to Netanyahu to end the war and reach an agreement that will enable all the remaining hostages to be released. Einav Zangaker, who is still believed to be alive from 20 hostages in Gaza, said, “A comprehensive agreement to return all hostages is the call of the moment.” He said.
“The annuals of history are now written, a section is still missing, the October 7 episode. Netanyahu, up to you,” he wrote.
Redrawing of the Middle East
Despite the Gaza cloud, the political benefits of the Iranian mission are already felt.
A questionnaire published last week said that 83% of Jewish Israelis supported the attack on Iran and that the interviewers expect the Likud party, which is expected to lose power in any national election, will now gain ground.
“I think there will be less movement to punish him for October 7,” Mitchell Barak said, a Israeli surveyor working for Netanyahu in the 1990s. “Absolutely in a strong position.”
The Iranian operation points to a dramatic change in Israel’s regional position, which has been developing at a dizzying speed in the last 20 months.
During this time, the Israeli forces seriously weakened Hezbollah in Lebanon, heavily losses to Hamas in Gaza, the air defenses in Syria and now hit Iran directly – once considered a very risky movement.
Netanyahu also managed to persuade US President Donald Trump to attack and hit Iran’s nuclear places with only the US Air Force with shelter bombs.
On Tuesday, Trump recalled the six-day war of 1967, in which Israel launched a preventive strike to neighboring Arab states on Tuesday, called the “12-day war” on Tuesday, and seized the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan Heights.
Some of Netanyahu’s allies are forcing a new narrative to reorganize the October 7 attack as a failure, but as a necessary call for alert, which has finally forced the country to resist the head of the head instead of being with its regional enemies.
Aryeh Leather, the partner of the right -wing ruling coalition, told Channel 14 TV station, “October 7 saved the people of Israel,” he said.
Political reckoning
Netanyahu will face pressure to put an end to the Gaza conflict that has killed 56,000 Palestinians so far.
The competitors accused of extending the war to avoid a political calculation of who would blame the conflict. Postponement is no longer acceptable.
“Now Gaza,” Opposition leader Yair Lapid wrote to X on Tuesday. He continued: “There is the moment of closure. To bring back the prisoners, to end the war. Israel needs to be rebuilt.”
Israel has been increasingly isolated on its actions in Gaza, where it has cut aid for weeks, shrinks the warnings of famine and reduced most of the settlement zone to the rubble.
In recent weeks, Trump himself has promised to bring peace to the region during the election campaign last year and called for Israel to complete the war.
However, there was little willingness in Netanyahu’s government to reconcile or negotiate on Tuesday.
“Now, with all our power to Gaza, to complete the business, to destroy Hamas, and to return our hostages,” Fararation Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote.
Smotrich and other cabinet Hardliners are forcing a long-term Gaza military occupation, including the re-establishment of Jewish settlements, something they will strongly oppose the Palestinians and Western countries.
Talshir described his talks on the ceasefire agreement in Gaza as a competition between Smotrich and Donald Trump, which is more leverage in Netanyahu.
Some analysts say that Netanyahu could benefit from the Iranian operation by calling a year early elections, but the majority of the thin parliament of the surveyer Barak coalition are more logical.
“Whenever you go to the elections, it sounds great, you go for a roll of dice,” he said.
