On the neighboring countries – Amos Harel in Haaretz:
‘If Israel holds the Iranian nuclear threat in check, that will be good news for the Europeans and certainly for the Sunni states in the Middle East. Senior officials in the neighboring countries are telling their Israeli counterparts, "just keep going" – exactly like in the wars against Hezbollah in 2006 and 2024.
These officials are expressing plenty of appreciation for Israel's operational and intelligence achievements, but also apprehension. They don't want Netanyahu to drag the region into another blood-drenched war of attrition without a rapid conclusion in the form of an agreement. A long war will also endanger the Gulf states' petroleum sites, certainly if Israel systematically attacks similar sites in Iran.’
