Israeli Unity and Support for Military Action Against Iran

Israeli Political and Public Support

• 🎯 The political class and most Israelis are united behind Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the war on Iran, a sentiment present since June 13.
• 💡 The intervention of the Trump administration has brought renewed hope that Iran's nuclear program can be demolished.

Objectives of the Attack on Iran

• 🔑 The initial objectives of Israel's attack on June 13 were to destroy as much of the nuclear program as possible and to eliminate the ballistic missile program.
• 🚀 The American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites offer a new possibility to completely eliminate the existential threat posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Public Sentiment and Fear

• ⚠️ While there is general support for the military operation, the level of tension and fear among Israelis is very high due to daily threats and damage.
• 🏠 Unlike previous periods of alarms, the current threat from ballistic missiles is taken extremely seriously, impacting the elderly and children who must spend extended periods in shelters.

Distinguishing Conflict with Regime vs. People

• 🤝 Israelis do not feel they are at war with the Iranian people, but rather with the regime of the Ayatollas, which has threatened Israel since 1979.
• ❤️ There is sympathy and solidarity in Israel with the Iranian people, highlighting that the conflict is with the repressive Iranian regime, not its citizens.

Diplomatic Process and Negotiation Stance

• 🗣️ The success of military operations must be accompanied by a diplomatic process, but the question remains whether Iranians will accept negotiations without preconditions.
• 🇺🇸 The US and Israeli governments may have sought different outcomes, with Israel favoring a complete dismantlement of Iran's nuclear program (Libyan model) and the US proposing various alternatives.
• 📈 It is anticipated that the Trump administration will toughen its stance following the American strikes, aiming to weaken the regime and present a stronger negotiation position.
