| From Tehran to terror tunnels: Netanyahu's pivot back to Gaza - analysis |
| 2025-07-10 |
| Just two weeks ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the peak of a rare political high. Israel — with US assistance at the very end — had pulled off a staggering strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Operation Rising Lion had reasserted Israeli deterrence, garnered international admiration, and handed Netanyahu a signature moment of strength both domestically and on the world stage. But this week’s visit to Washington shows how quickly the spotlight shifts — and how swiftly Netanyahu’s focus has moved from Tehran back to the tunnels of Gaza. For an indication, look at any Israeli daily and compare the number of columns and news articles related to the Israel-Hamas War and how many are dealing with the operation in Iran. There is simply no comparison. Continued existence of Jewish People cannot be taken for granted (it's true for all Peoples - in our case it's so much more obvious). The prime minister’s second meeting on Tuesday evening within 24 hours with US President Donald Trump was not about Iran. It was about Gaza: the war, the hostages, and the possibility of a ceasefire. In the context of where Netanyahu was just two weeks ago — basking in military success in Iran — the mere fact that the bulk of his time with Trump appeared to be focused on Gaza, and not on Iran or a possible future Mideast architecture, speaks volumes. Gaza, not Iran, is once again the dominant story. Rest at the link |
