An Israeli recognition of Lebanon and Syria .. The Jerusalem Post is speaking

The Israeli newspaper “Jerusalem Post” published a new report in which it spoke about the effects of the war that Israel is waging for nearly two years, especially against Lebanon and Iran.

The report, translated by “Lebanon 24”, claims that “in the wake of the successes that have been achieved in the war that has been launched since October 7, 2023, an increasing number of Israelis describes the Israeli strategic development as heralding the rise of Israel to a regional power,” and added: “There are also allegations that Israel’s actions have changed the Middle East,” as he put it.
The report says that “Israel has achieved success in Iran by causing severe damage to the main nuclear establishments and eliminating the nuclear scientific leadership.” He added: “Nevertheless, it is clear that despite the importance of stopping the Iran race towards the nuclear bomb, it does not seem that Iran has abandoned its nuclear dream.
He continued: “If Israel needs to move again, it is not certain that the conditions in the future will be favorable as it was in the year 2025, then Iran seeks to obtain more advanced air defense systems, and the American participation in the war, especially in the shadow of another president, is not guaranteed.”
He continued: “It was one of the welcoming side effects of the war that Israel was waging from October 7, 2023, is the fall of the Assad regime, the Iranian ally. This paved the way for the Israeli Air Force to attack Iran, and Israel took advantage of this development to destroy large parts of the Syrian army and seize lands to create a buffer zone.”
He added: “Nevertheless, it is unfortunate that Syria has also become a source of friction between Washington and Jerusalem, due to their different views on the future of Syria. The United States is interested in turning Syria into a central state, while Israel, committed to minorities (especially the Druze and Kurds), has a different vision.”
The report considered that “the loss of Hezbollah in Lebanon during the recent war, which has greatly weakened the Iranian axis, does not guarantee a fundamental change in Lebanon.” He added: “The Lebanese political regime’s willingness to engage in a civil war to dismantle the weapon of Hizbullah is doubtful, even if American pressure increases.”
He continued: “Israel’s ability to engineer political entities outside its northern borders – Syria and Lebanon – is very limited, and Israel should not think that its military power is able to change the political reality there. Actually, these countries will continue to constitute a security challenge in the near future.”
Likewise, the report saw that “the Middle East has not changed, as it is still steeped in conflicts, and the use of power is one of the rules of the game. At the same time, the Middle East is still a source of intolerance and the spread of nuclear weapons.”
He added: “Moreover, the war has not ended in Gaza yet, and Hama is still controlling parts of it (although it controls only 30%). It seems that the hesitation in controlling the entire Gaza Strip, and the issue of the hostages, has prolonged the war, which led to its legitimacy internally and externally.”
The report considered that “the survival of Hama in Gaza City is a victory for the movement, and it would enhance aspirations to eliminate Israel.” He added: “It is very unfortunate that the Israelis forget that they live in a small country. This is evident when referring to the workforce necessary for the Israeli army. And imported products. Moreover, the arms market does not interact specifically, with supply and demand, while political variables prevail.
He continued: “American aid to Israel in the political, security and economic fields is an existential dimension. Israel’s situation in the United States is still good, but there are negative paths that do not herald good, and preserving American support for the Jewish state requires a hard effort.”
