/ Israel-Iran War
On February 28, against the backdrop of rounds of talks about a renewed nuclear agreement, Israel and the United States launched a surprise war against Iran. Iran responded with attacks against Israel, U.S. forces, and countries in the region. Hezbollah also joined the campaign and attacked Israel, which in turn responded with airstrikes and the entry of additional ground forces into the south of the country.
The events are currently unfolding and developing before our eyes. It is still far too early to discuss the implications of these events for Israel, the region, or even the global arena. Events are still developing, and the way they evolve will profoundly shape the reality that will emerge once the war ends. However, although it is still too early for conclusions, especially amid the smoke of battle and ongoing fighting, it is already important to draw attention to several key points. Engaging with these points will aid in monitoring and understanding the different developments and may also support the adoption of more informed and precise policies. The following are responses from Mitvim Institute experts regarding the second Israel-Iran War after its first week.
