In a July 4 assessment published Tuesday, Dr. Doron Matza of the 301 analysis platform argues that the West's moral decline and Iran's ascendancy are creating a strategic environment where Israel can press its advantages in Gaza without fearing US reprisal. Matza suggests that the 'utilitarian' US posture, weakened by Iranian attacks on its bases, allows Israel to continue targeted killings and maintain its position on the Philadelphi Corridor.
Dr. Doron Matza, a member of the 301 analysis platform, has published a new situation assessment dated July 4, arguing that the decline of the West and the rise of Iran are creating a paradoxical opportunity for Israel. Matza contends that the United States, under the current administration, has failed to restore its moral authority and is being 'subsidized' by Iranian provocations, which in turn grant Israel greater flexibility to act in Gaza.
The analysis posits that the US-Iran dynamic, including Iranian attacks on American bases in the Gulf, signals a shift in global power that Israel can exploit. Matza specifically cites the continued targeted killings in Gaza and Israel's refusal to withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor as examples of this approach.
This assessment joins a series of analyses by Matza covered by The Zioneer. In a July 14 piece, he argued that US strikes on Iran had not changed the strategic picture, and in an August 2 analysis, he described the US as the 'weak link' in the global order. The current analysis, though dated July 4, is being published now amid ongoing US-Iran confrontations.
