BRIEFING: ISRAEL’S NEW REGIONAL EQUATION

ISRAEL’S NEW REGIONAL EQUATION

In this situational briefing, Yaakov Lappin, In-House Analyst at The MirYam Institute, analyzes the highly dramatic events of the past 24 hours in the Middle East.

Recently, the Iranian-led Shiite jihadist axis has attempted to bully Israel into accepting new operational "equations" - formulas designed to dictate the boundaries of military action.

This extortion attempt stems from the fact that Hezbollah, Iran's flagship proxy in Lebanon, has been severely degraded. Israel fired back against this Iranian extortion attempt.

By taking matters into its own hands, even when it meant defying a direct request from a close ally, Israel successfully reestablished its strategic independence.
