Israeli Attack On Iran, Rafah Unlikely For Now: Indian Scholar

Israel is unlikely to attack Iran now, nor will it turn its guns on Rafah in Gaza, where thousands of Palestinian refugees are camped along with the remnants of the Hamas brigades and of course the Israeli hostages taken last October.
Khinvraj Jangid, Visiting Faculty at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, told Stratnews Global from Tel Aviv, that the blunting of Iran’s mass drone strikes on Sunday has come as a shot in the arm, giving renewed confidence to the people and the nation.
It explains Israel’s defence minister telling the US they had no date for an attack on Iran contrary to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s claim.
The recent crisis has also laid bare the divisions within the ruling establishment with the military and security/intelligence wings not appearing to trust Netanyahu. Reports that the prime minister was less than enthusiastic about getting back the hostages has added to public anger.
But Jangid notes that the conservative ruling coalition that Netanyahu heads is still going strong and in fact, is unlikely to break. The US-Israeli relationship has undergone strains but remains intact even if the Democrats don’t like Netanyahu.
As for Iran, at the risk of losing face with its proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Houthis, it remains content with its Sunday strike that did not hurt Israel. Clearly, the Iranian leadership recognized its relative weaknesses after decades of sanctions. Probably a case of keeping the power dry.

Very well read speaker.. thoughtful insights.. good discussion 👌

[@tvm73836]

This is the great think about Israel, India and the US. Anyone can safely criticize the government from inside the country. Imagine what would happen if someone did this in China, Russia or anywhere else in the Middle East!!

[@diwakardeshpande]

Very good interview.

[@kishorel.9411]

Awesome insight!

[@jaydeepgadhavi5465]

Always insightful to read or listen to Dr. Jhangid. Just being prickly, but as much as I remember Netanyahu's address to the joint session of Congress during the JCPOA discussions was certainly the most aggressive address given by a foreign leader to the US Congress. The relationship between the US, Iran & IS was called out by Bibi as 'the enemy of your enemy is your enemy'. However, there was nothing partisan about it.

Good view and good insights. Would be good to have an Israeli guest to understand their views

Olmert lost the 2d Lebanon war. Israel/western defence showed that Iranian long range attack are feeble. Iran has crossed a line, and needs a response. Something big inside Iran, where Israeli AirPower is in display

[@etronicw2729]

Iran 🇮🇷 plan was to test Israel defence systems using old technology. Although Iran fired 300 projectiles, approximately 7 ballistic missiles hot targets. This was Irans aim, to show Israel it can target and hit Israel internally if it wants to.

Once Iran gets nuclear capability the every day n night Israel will not sleep. The greatest blunder is not addressing that .

Can Indian connection with Israel impact it's relationship with Arab countries. Can it erode Indian soft power?

[@vishalsheth1888]

Arab countries support Israel. Saudi confirmed intercepting Iranian missiles.
