After successfully assisting Israel destroy or at least seriously damage Iran’s nuclear facilities without getting bogged down in a foreign war, President Trump turned his fire on the State of Israel. His recent tweet (that he later repeated) calls for the State of Israel to end its corruption charges against the Prime Minister that led Israel to its greatest defeat against its weakest enemy ever!

Even though Prime Minister Netanyahu deserves credit for many of his decisions in the wars against Hezbollah and Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, his dismantling of Israel’s judiciary and other national institutions has left Israel divided and weak.

• The October 7 massacre could not have happened if our Prime Ministered hadn’t systematically appointed military leaders unable or unwilling to respond to warning signs that were uncomfortable for their boss.

• The internal strife and chaos caused by the current coalition’s attempts to dismantle Israel’s judicial system under the guise of “Judicial Reform” opened the door for Hamas to attack.

• By systematically replacing the heads of all of Israel’s civil service and other national institutions with unqualified patronage appointments - Netanyahu condemned us to the total chaos and failure that occurred for months on end in the wake of the attack.

• Empowering putting messianic and racist extremists like Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir in charge of the Treasury and the Police simply to hold onto power threaten to return Israel from a successful state with thriving democracy with a strong and stable OECD economy to a failed or struggling Third World government (where corruption is rampant or led by an all powerful despot) with a weak economy.

Saving Bibi from criminal prosecution does not help Israel - it helps destroy it! Rather than serving as an example of a vibrant democracy for neighboring countries (and the Palestinian Authority) to copy, Netanyahu has been trying to import the political culture of Abu Mazen where elections are delayed indefinitely.

Since your news sources are already covering the bombing of the nuclear weapons facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan by the United States, we’ve decided to focus on two important topics that you won’t find much information in U.S. news sources:

• The state of bomb shelters and safe rooms in Israel

• The loss of focus on the plight of the 53 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza

This week’s focus is followed by an analysis of the Democratic Party’s response to President Trump’s decision to bomb of Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. We compare the response to that of Shimon Peres’ in the immediate aftermath of Menahem Begin’s success in 1981 when Israel destroyed the nuclear reactor in Iraq. Nearly 45 years later, the Labour party has failed to recover. Regardless of which party you prefer - the lack of a reasonable alternative is a serious problem.

This is followed by an explanation why Israel had to attack Iran. Note: we also recommend that you read Why Israel Had to Attack by Amos Yadlin that appeared in the New York Times yesterday.

On June 13, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a coordinated and highly targeted military operation against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and senior Revolutionary Guard figures. It was a strategic necessity, not a political whim. Iran has made no secret of its intentions toward Israel. Its leaders have repeatedly and publicly threatened to destroy the Jewish state. Meanwhile, it has continued to enrich uranium to levels approaching weapons-grade, in clear defiance of international norms and oversight.

Just days before the strike, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran was enriching uranium up to 60 percent purity, a hair’s breadth from the 90 percent needed for a nuclear bomb. The report also stated that Iran had refused to cooperate with nuclear inspectors, hiding crucial details about its weapons program. Iran ignored repeated diplomatic efforts to return to the negotiating table and cease enrichment, including those made during the Trump administration. Instead, it escalated.

Given these developments, Israel had both the right and the obligation to act.

Waiting any longer would have risked waking up to a nuclear-armed Iran. The mission struck key nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Arak, with the clear goal of setting back Iran’s nuclear timetable and deterring further escalation.

And yet, the timing of the operation is impossible to ignore. Just one day earlier, Netanyahu’s government survived a crucial domestic challenge. His coalition passed a deeply divisive bill to maintain draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) men, despite widespread public resentment and national protests.

Both Shas and UTJ, sought to preserve long-standing exemptions from mandatory service enjoyed by the Haredi community, had threatened to back the dissolution bill over the enlistment issue, which would have left Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu without a majority needed to stay in power.

For many Israelis, this was a deeply cynical political deal. Netanyahu gave the religious parties what they wanted to hold his coalition together – no military service for now, no serious sanctions and the right to keep all the money he poured on them to get them into and keep them in the coalition.

Then, less than 24 hours later, came the most dramatic military strike Israel has launched in years.

The sudden pivot from internal political firestorm to global military engagement struck many observers as too perfect. This pattern isn’t new: Netanyahu has often shifted focus to national security at moments when his political survival was under threat.

Critics argue that the Iran strike served not only military objectives, but also political ones by resetting the domestic conversation and reframing Netanyahu as a wartime leader.
