Analyst Abu Salah (the Arabic Desk) assesses that despite the significant escalation in the Persian Gulf, Israel has so far remained on the sidelines — but warns that this situation will not last, implying a coming shift from 'zero to one hundred.'
In a Saturday evening post, the analyst known as Abu Salah (the Arabic Desk) declared that Israel is currently 'out of the game' in the Persian Gulf escalation, but warned that 'it won't stay this way.' The assessment, which described a shift 'from zero to one hundred,' is the latest in a series of analyses from the Arabic Desk regarding the Gulf crisis. Previous posts by Abu Salah have assessed the US strike campaign against Iranian targets, and warned of an Iranian pressure campaign that would leave Israel with limited options. The current post does not specify a timeline or mechanism for Israel's involvement, but echoes the analyst's broader theme that the region's dynamics are drawing Israel closer to the conflict.
