‘This is round two’: attacks on Iran have broad support among unsurprised Israelis

AI Summary

medium article 4 min

Following Iranian attacks on Israel, Israelis are largely united in support of continued military action against Iran, viewing it as a necessary step for their safety. Despite personal fears and past experiences with Iranian missile strikes, many believe the conflict needs to be resolved decisively. The attacks have temporarily quelled internal political disputes, with opposition leaders expressing support for Prime Minister Netanyahu's actions. While European powers urge negotiation, some prominent Israeli figures advocate for a broader, sustained war to eliminate the Iranian threat. Ayman Odeh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel and lawmaker, is one of the few voices criticizing the widespread support for the military action.
