Whoever listened to the threats made by more than one Israeli official, on Tuesday, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his chief of staff, to attack Iran and destroy its nuclear facilities, will assume that a decision has been taken in this regard, and there is nothing left but to set the zero hour to start with.
Is it true that war is imminent?! Or is the matter nothing more than a brinkmanship that the Netanyahu government resorted to in order to overcome internal opposition to judicial reforms?!
My personal conviction is that the Israeli entity's government does not intend to attack Iran or Hezbollah, not because it does not want war, but rather because it cannot win it and does not bear the consequences that will result from it in the event of an outbreak.
To make it clearer, the Netanyahu government, which is rampaging in the meantime, threatens at times to strike Iran, at other times to strike Hezbollah, and at a third time to strike the entire axis of resistance at once. It was unable, just yesterday, to bear the results of the last round of fighting with the Gaza Strip, with difficulty, except for four days, despite It took place with almost one Palestinian faction, the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, which possesses very modest capabilities that are negligible compared to the capabilities of Iran or Hezbollah, or even with the capabilities of Hamas.
This trembling government, although it was able to unilaterally unite the Islamic Jihad movement in the recent confrontation with the Gaza Strip, and relatively neutralize Hamas by not participating in the fighting, was able, due to Egyptian and Qatari pressures, to impose a cease-fire on the Jihad movement before the date of the Zionist media march that took place in Jerusalem last Tuesday, in order to come out in front of its audience with a picture of victory, so it had what it wanted.
But what is certain is that this government cannot escape punishment if it dares to implement the threats made by Israel's political, security and military leaders to attack Iran and destroy its reactors and nuclear facilities.
Attacking Iran will inevitably lead to the outbreak of a major, grinding war on more than one front, during which tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of accurate and inaccurate missiles will fall on the cities and towns of the entity, which will put the entire Zionist project in front of real existential dangers that may lead to its disintegration and collapse.
Based on the foregoing, I believe, and I am certain, that the recent Israeli threats to strike Iran are like the previous ones, for Israeli consumption and to raise Netanyahu's popularity, and not for implementation.
However, if this analysis were reversed, and the Netanyahu government took an uncalculated and illogical act, such as launching a strike against Iran or Hezbollah, or both, then it would put itself and the entire Zionist project in real existential danger. At that point, the Palestinian popular proverb will apply to her: "A chicken dug on its head is an ivory."
