Alon Pinkas, a former Israeli diplomat and current columnist with the Independent newspaper, says most Israelis agree with the attack on Iran because of the threat from its nuclear programme. “Most Israelis have been indoctrinated almost to think Iran is an imminent existential threat, that Iran needs to be dealt with – preferably militarily rather than diplomatically,” Pinkas told Al Jazeera. “On the one hand, Israelis feel good about what is being done. Also, you have to understand in terms of the national psyche this is sort of a correction compared to the devastation of the October 7, 2023 debacle,” he added. “All that said, there still is a lack of understanding of what exactly is the endgame here? What is the exit strategy, what is the coherent and attainable political objective? Because you’re not going to bring about regime change from the air.”
