Miri discusses the recent reactivation of the Syrian front, emphasizing that although the attacks from Syria into the Israeli Golan Heights may not yet be a serious threat, all fronts remain volatile and require vigilance. She notes the complex array of actors involved in Syria, including both Palestinian and Iranian-backed groups, and underscores the responsibility of Syria's new regime in curbing hostilities. Shifting to Gaza, Miri describes the IDF’s slow, methodical approach to military operations against Hamas, highlighting the dilemma of high civilian densities and the unresolved issue of post-war governance in the Strip. Addressing recent fatalities at food distribution sites, she expresses skepticism about the UN’s role and intentions, critiquing UNRWA for historically enabling Hamas and perpetuating misinformation.
