*🅰️NALYSIS: Iranian attacks failing to diminish Israeli public’s support for war*
Iranian attacks are so far failing to undermine the widespread Israeli public opinion in support of attacking Iran, Dan Perry, former Associated Press regional editor based in Tel Aviv, tells Al Jazeera.
“I think the narrative in Israel is that although it’s a tragedy that 20-some people have been killed … it’s ‘less bad’ than could have been expected, maybe less bad than they planned,” he said.
“And I don’t think it’s enough to alter the public perception that the attack on Iran’s nuclear programme is justified and even that the implications that Israel would welcome regime change in Iran are also justified, given Iran’s proxy militia programme in the region and its support for Hamas.
“But this can change very quickly if a missile gets through and the Iranians ‘get lucky’ in a way and end up killing 300 people in some 30-storey tower.
“If that happens, you’d be looking at something else. Now, which way that would go is anyone’s guess. It could mean that the public has less appetite [for fighting], but it could lead to a very dangerous [escalation].”
