Netanyahu is stretching the rope - and the question in the IDF may come sooner than expected | Ran Edelist

Ran Edelist analyzes Prime Minister Netanyahu's policy, focusing on the growing tension in the IDF. The author asks whether reserve soldiers, infantrymen, and pilots will begin to ask questions about operations in Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, and how the declaration of construction in E1 could accelerate this process.

In his column, Ran Edelist analyzes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policy, focusing on the growing tension in the IDF. The author asks whether we are heading toward a situation where tank crews, infantrymen, and pilots will ask what exactly we are doing in Syria, and whether the question will expand to operations in Lebanon, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Edelist notes that Netanyahu promised the Americans and Europeans that there would be no progress in construction in E1, but precisely now Smotrich jumped in, wanting to win votes, and caused a resounding reinforcement from the world in support of a Palestinian state. The column raises questions about the implications of political moves on the motivation and willingness of reserve soldiers to continue serving.
