Israel remains on sidelines of US-Iran fight, which for Jerusalem is just fine for now
Tehran is determined to impose its control over Hormuz, and hitting Israel doesn't advance that goal. Normalcy returns, but no solution to the Iran threat is even on the horizon
Israel is currently observing from the sidelines as the United States and Iran engage in escalating attacks, marking 10 consecutive nights of conflict and the 34th day of a 60-day ceasefire. The US is targeting Iranian military command centers and missile sites, while Iran is striking Arab countries, claiming to hit US assets. Two US soldiers were killed in Jordan and one in Iraq. Despite the proximity of Iranian attacks, Israel has not been targeted, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated, "Israel has no interest in joining the contained confrontation between Iran and the United States — the current situation is the best one for us." While Israel benefits from the US degrading Iranian capabilities and withholding funds, the article notes that this is a temporary situation, as Iran's nuclear program and other threats remain unresolved, making renewed conflict with Iran "virtually guaranteed" at some point.
