"Is Israel Safer Today?" my latest @MirYamInstitute @BenAnthony1948 miryaminstitute.org/commentary-blo… Is Israel safer today, from a national security standpoint, than it was on October 6, 2023? The answer is yes. Hezbollah is alone in Lebanon. Hamas is alone in Gaza. The Houthis are alone in Yemen. And most importantly, the Ayatollahs left alive in Tehran are increasingly isolated, with fewer options. The ring of fire Tehran spent decades building around Israel has been largely dismantled. The strategic paradigm that permitted threats to grow unchecked because acting on them seemed too dangerous has been replaced by a different logic: the cost of inaction exceeds the cost of action.
