Commentator Hillel Bitton Rosen said Wednesday that Israel is at peak readiness for a possible resumption of the campaign against Iran, warning that the coming days will be 'very tense'. He added that Israel is prepared for any scenario, including joining US strikes or facing an Iranian attack, and described Trump as an unpredictable president in close contact with Netanyahu.
Israel is at peak readiness for a potential resumption of military operations against Iran, according to a Wednesday statement by commentator Hillel Bitton Rosen. The former military figure said everyone understands the coming days will be 'very tense' and that Israel is ready for any scenario — whether the US requests Israeli participation in strikes or Iran attacks Israel directly.
Bitton Rosen described US President Donald Trump as an unpredictable leader in close contact with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, capable of making decisions 'from moment to moment.' The statement comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach a US-Iran deal and assessments that a breakdown could lead to renewed full-scale conflict.
Earlier this month, Bitton Rosen stated that an Israeli strike on Iran 'appears distant' but that readiness is maintained. On July 18, a senior security official told Hadasot Habazak that the IDF and security establishment are at peak readiness for a possible return to war with Iran. The current statement reflects continued high alert as the region awaits the outcome of US-Iran negotiations.
