Abstract

The article discusses the recent missile and drone attacks by Iran against Israel and the advice given by President Biden to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "take the win." The author argues that it would be political and national suicide for Netanyahu to follow this advice, as Israel is primarily concerned with its survival as the world's only Jewish state. The article also highlights the need for the US to foster an alliance to counter Iran's ambitions in the Middle East and criticizes past US policies that have weakened American support for its allies. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of Israel's role in the region and the need for pragmatic decision-making in the face of an amoral opponent. [Extracted from the article]
