An analytical assessment based on a report by Channel 12 warns that Israel is entering the fourth year of war without necessary preparation. All fronts — Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran — remain open, and the political leadership, according to the authors, is not making the necessary decisions. The enormous burden on active-duty soldiers and reservists is affecting their lives, businesses, and families, while simultaneously undermining the IDF's ability to recover and retain personnel. The main task is described as attempting to end the war and reach security agreements on each front. It is noted that regarding Iran, Israel's options are limited and depend on US President Donald Trump. In Gaza and Lebanon, success depends on the willingness to compromise and the political courage of the leadership. Among other challenges are the situation in the West Bank, rebuilding the army, including the issue of drafting ultra-Orthodox, and strengthening international alliances. Analysts note that part of the government and politicians are acting against the IDF, and this approach must change.
