Israel Will Fight On
(Israel Hayom) David M. Weinberg - The six-week war with Iran has dramatically changed the strategic picture for the better. But nobody in Israel is under the illusion that the struggle against evil is over, and nobody should dare question the morality of Israel's need for ongoing and crushing victories over its adversaries. Israel will not return to the containment policies of recent decades that prioritized restraint and diplomacy over enemy degradation and military triumph. Israel's changed security paradigm involves proactively asserting dominance along its borders and strategic ascendancy against threats farther away. Israel will hunt down its enemies, not be hounded by them. Jerusalem knows that its neighbors will seek true reconciliation only when Israel is strong. Additional Abraham Accord-style peace treaties are possible and desirable, but these will be based on muscular defense partnerships, not mushy notions of goodwill.
