Veteran Israeli security analyst and former senior officer Israel Ziv stated that 'now is the time to end the war,' an opinion posted Saturday evening. The statement adds to the domestic Israeli debate about the war's trajectory and duration.
Veteran Israeli security analyst and former brigadier general (res.) Israel Ziv added his voice to the domestic debate on the war's duration, stating Saturday evening that 'now is the time to end the war.' The statement, reported by an affiliated news outlet, carries weight given Ziv's experience in senior command positions and his regular commentary on military affairs. It follows recent diplomatic signals — including a reported Trump-Netanyahu phone call in which the U.S. president is said to have conveyed a similar message — but this is Ziv's own assessment, not a confirmed change in Israeli policy. No further details on Ziv's reasoning were released alongside the statement.
