In Israel, contingency plans are being advanced in case Iran decides to continue its pursuit of nuclear capability, as Israeli security sources reveal to commentator Ben Caspit on the Al-Monitor website. Uncertainty over the deployment of the US military in the Gulf region is leading Jerusalem to focus efforts on undermining the stability of the regime in Tehran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing for the formulation of new plans to undermine the regime, amid frustration over waiting for the American decision. According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the US is considering reducing its presence in Kuwait, and Al-Monitor reported on a redeployment around Erbil. Meanwhile, 10 American refueling aircraft will be added to the 30 already parked at Ben Gurion Airport. A senior political source said: "We got here the worst of all worlds. The regime has completely lost its fear, the nuclear project has not been destroyed, and Iran has gained a grip on the Strait of Hormuz and will thus fund terrorism." The incoming Mossad chief, Roman Gofman, fired two senior officials in the organization. Netanyahu's political strength is shaky, with a Ma'ariv poll projecting only 49 seats for his bloc.
