Iran's weakness is temporary and Israel may need to take decisive action to eliminate the threat, according to British-Israeli analyst Jonathan Spyer. He believes that Israel's current military strategy of weakening its enemies and then striking again is no longer sustainable. Israel may soon need to strike at the source of the threat, Iran, to put an end to regional terrorism. Spyer also noted that Israel's goals in the war with Hamas in Gaza have not been pursued with the same intensity, leading to a wait-and-see approach. He believes that Israel is at a crossroads in the war and faces a critical decision regarding negotiations for a second phase of a hostage-for-ceasefire deal.
