Risks, Opportunities for Israel in Gaza Phase Two and Iranian Regime Change - ILTV Interview

Miri unpacks Israel’s position on entering phase two in Gaza, noting the compromises made to secure the release of hostages and highlighting the practical complexities of international involvement, especially from actors like Turkey and Qatar. She stresses that any international presence in Gaza must coordinate with Israel, given the realities on the ground. On Iran, Miri discusses likely US and Israeli military targets if further action is taken, focusing on regime symbols and infrastructure, and she analyzes the fragility of the Iranian regime. She predicts potential change in Iran by 2026, but cautions it may not yield liberal democracy and could even produce a more repressive government. Miri clarifies that Israeli interests align with regime change in Iran, even if civil unrest leads to instability for Iranians, as the current regime's support for hostile proxies is a direct threat to Israel.
