Arab48 publishes an analysis by Israeli researcher on Iranian affairs Danny Citrinowicz, from the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, calling on the new Israeli government to change the order of security priorities, arguing that the Palestinian issue is more important than the Iranian threat. Citrinowicz describes Iran as a "distant threat, and few in Israel know it deeply, and it can be described as an existential threat that justifies almost any military action," while dealing with the Palestinian issue "requires making difficult political decisions, painful concessions, and a decision on Israel's future." He adds in his article in Haaretz that Israel does not face Iran alone but is joined by the United States, Gulf states, and Europe, while the Palestinian issue is Israel's problem first. He emphasizes that the greatest threat to Israel's future as a Jewish and democratic state stems from the lack of an answer to the question of millions of Palestinians between the river and the sea.
