An analyst published by The Zioneer argues that while Israel's military, intelligence, and pilots delivered devastating blows to Iran's missile bases, nuclear scientists, and infrastructure, the war may be lost at the diplomatic table. The piece warns that Washington appears to be moving toward a new Middle East order that integrates Iran, elevates Qatar, and restrains Israel — leaving Jerusalem on the sidelines. It concludes by citing Isaiah 31:1 against reliance on foreign alliances for national security.
The Zioneer published an analysis Friday afternoon arguing that despite Israel's decisive military achievements against Iran — including strikes on missile bases, nuclear scientists, and nuclear infrastructure — the war may ultimately be lost on the diplomatic front.
The analyst warns that Washington is shifting toward a regional order that integrates Iran, elevates Qatar as a key mediator, and sidelines Israel. 'Jerusalem out. Doha in,' the piece states, reflecting a concern that the political map drawn after the fighting will undo the battlefield gains.
The analysis draws on Isaiah 31:1 ('Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help…') to argue that no alliance, however powerful, can serve as the foundation of national security.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, senior Israeli officials have voiced similar concerns about the political cost of the campaign. A senior Israeli official told i24NEWS this month that knowing the war's political aftermath, it may not have been worth launching. Another official described the emerging US-Iran memorandum of understanding as a 'historic mistake.'
