Netanyahu’s push for US strikes puts world in a ‘damned if you do’ dilemma on Iran: Analysis
In an Al Jazeera interview, Israeli analyst Akiva Elder expressed concerns over US strikes on Iran, noting most politicians praised Trump while ignoring long-term consequences. He cited opposition leader Yair Golan’s warning that wars require political solutions, unlike Israel’s unresolved conflicts since 1967. Elder feared regime change could lead to chaos akin to Iraq and Libya, questioning Netanyahu’s "total victory" obsession in Gaza and Iran. While acknowledging Netanyahu’s lobbying of Trump via US evangelists, he criticised Israel’s ultimatum forcing US involvement. Elder warned of regional destabilisation, including potential Strait of Hormuz closures, and doubted post-war stability even if Iran’s government fell. He concluded Israel prioritises military wins over exit strategies, leaving conflicts perpetually unresolved.
