As the new administration enters office in Washington, it’s appropriate to present the nature and goals of Israel’s war in various sectors to clarify where it’s heading in the coming years
Amidror hopes these efforts will work together with the new administration
The war Israel is conducting operates on four levels:
A - First level
The personal security of Israeli citizens in the Gaza border area, the Galilee and throughout the country
B - Second level
Israel’s status in the region and the world
Those who wished Israel harm saw October 7, 2023 as the beginning of the end of the Jewish state and Israel lost its status as a regional power
Anyone who smelled Israel’s spilled blood and thought to exploit it – needs to see that those who spilled its blood were dismembered and became irrelevant

Therefore the war’s results must enable a process of Israel’s return to its status
C - Third level
The heart and mind of Muslims in the region
This war’s results need to make clear to the world, especially the Muslim world that radical Islamic movements, both Sunni and Shiite, bring disaster to their people and destruction to their believers
An Israeli failure would lead to the spread of Islamic struggle beyond the Middle East – “the West is next” isn’t an empty slogan but an action plan
D - Fourth level
This is an inter-axis war
so it was important for the US to clarify that it stands beside its ally and that opposing the China-Moscow-Tehran-Hamas-Hezbollah-North Korea axis stands the strong Washington-Jerusalem-Riyadh-Abu Dhabi/Dubai-Jordan axis
In the war against Hezbollah, there’s an important additional component: Hezbollah was Iran’s most robust proxy and damaging Hezbollah, the more complex, the better, will also weaken Iran

After Iran fired hundreds of missiles of various types toward Israel twice, the actual state of Iran’s military power was revealed and effectively, the Iranian strategy collapsed
The “messengers” were severely hurt and are no longer valuable tools in Iran’s hands
The Israeli operation on the night of October 26, 2024 in which about 20 targets in Iran were hit, made clear to the Iranians the price of direct confrontation with Israel and Iran’s weakness against the capabilities Israel demonstrated
