For this ultraorthodox Jewish family, it is impossible to cancel the marriage, even in a state of emergency which imposes its share of restrictions. “”I do not know the safety rules and do not want to know them. This union will take place today, she says. And I wish all the best to “Bibi” Netanyahu and Donald Trump to do what they have to do in this war.“
And now ?
Something it will be impossible to stop
Priscilla, an employee of the United Nations in Jerusalem, brings an almost non -existent counterpoint in Israel. Behind her sunglasses, her eyes reflect his concern since the drop on Iran of American bombs. “”They triggered something impossible to stop, and I think that before the situation is out of control, it is only a matter of time, supposes this forty -year -old. All the great powers will choose to support Israel or Iran, and then the region will become really dangerous.”
If she reported her name to the Brazilian Embassy, ​​her country of origin, no evacuation is still planned. “”We will wait and see“, Smiles that, not impressionable, who previously worked in the Gaza Strip.”I think this new conflict occults that still in progress in the enclave. The media behavior is shameful: whatever the television channel you light, the Gazaouis pass after everyone“She deplores a dark air.”I am afraid for them that they become a lost cause.”
In Iran, Donald Trump has taken a historic step but finds himself in a delicate position in his country
The entrance to the Arab district of the old town is kept by several Israeli soldiers, who refuse the entrance to visitors. From his East Jerusalem Telephone Boutique, Youssef, Arab of Israel, is not invaded by customers. The entry of the United States into the conflict the previous night took it by surprise: “They said they didn’t want to join war, but they started sending their planes to the Middle East […] Violence will intensify, and it is not in the interest of anyone in the country. We are constantly afraid.“
The political profit that Netanyahu easts
For Udi Sommer, expert in political science and director of Barak Leadership Center at the University of Tel Aviv, there is no doubt that Israeli society massively supports American intervention in Iran. “”The Israelis knew that this day would happenhe explains. And Netanyahu has a lot to gain politically. In the photos of the start of the military operation in Iran, he is present with other members of the government in a bunker. In the future, they could say ‘we were there when it happened’, if this war turns into an Israel victory.“
The dissolution that could bring down the Netanyahu government
The expert offers a metaphor: “If Israel and Iran were two opponents in a boxing match, and Iran was overthrown, what would you then do, in place of Israel? You put him ko, at the risk that a stronger and more extreme boxer replaces him? Another option is to get rid of the rules, which all actors get involved, and this calls chaos, as in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, as after all political empty, and the dark country“. And the expert to conclude:”It would not be for the benefit of Israel or the benefit of the region“.
