Following the deadly attack in Binyamin, in which Netanel Shkarun was murdered, Amos Harel (Haaretz) and Dr. Michael Milstein (Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University) were hosted on 103FM and analyzed the security implications. According to Milstein, the impression is that it is a lone terrorist, but it is clear that Hamas will try to ignite the area. He also addressed the situation in the Gaza Strip, arguing that despite Israeli control of the area, it is not hermetic, and Hamas has no problem dismantling duds for explosives. Harel agreed that there is a real difficulty in controlling the area, and that Israel is paying a price in a war of attrition with no real ceasefire. Milstein also addressed the planned American strike against the Houthis that was canceled at the last moment, and assessed that all actors except Israel would have preferred to close the Houthi issue with agreements. Finally, Harel presented the current state of US President Trump, arguing that despite successes in economic warfare and smuggling ships through the Strait of Hormuz, he is stuck on events he finds difficult to resolve, and his threats against Iran are less effective.
