Israel Must Consider Washington's Opposition to Escalating War
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - Some within the government and military argue that after the pager attacks, Israel should seize the opportunity to launch an offensive now against Hizbullah. However, a senior security official noted that Israel must also consider the position of the U.S., which has made it clear that it opposes expanding the war at this time. Israel cannot ignore this demand, as in the event of an all-out war, Iran and its proxies may come to Hizbullah's aid, and Israel would need U.S. defense systems to help respond to a multi-front assault. It is therefore likely that Israel will let Hizbullah make the next move.
