After the WAR initiated by HAMAS on October 7th, the Middle East will not be the same

On the -th of October, all the residents of Israel, as well as all people of goodwill around the world, experienced a tremendous shock during the terrorist attacks on peaceful settlements and military installations in the south of Israel.

New Realities

The first three days of the war were the most challenging, but by the fourth or fifth day, people began to adapt to the new realities and act accordingly.

Solidarity with Ukraine

Ukrainians, through their bitter experience, know this well and deeply empathize with the people of Israel.

Maintaining Normality

At this time, it is essential for Israelis to maintain a standard way of life as close as possible to the pre-war period: sports, daily routines, nutrition, children’s education, and so on. This approach will help you preserve your mental well-being and that of your loved ones.

Confidence in the Israel Defense Forces

It’s important to understand that the Israel Defense Forces maintain a high level of control and know what they are doing.

Swift Mobilization and Societal Cohesion

The swift mobilization of 300,000 reservists demonstrates the society’s cohesion and its ability to respond to any challenges that may arise in Israel’s near future.

U.S. Support for Israel’s Protection

The United States, through its actions, shows that it will help protect Israel from any attempts by Iran and other hostile actors to interfere in the conflict.

Eliminating the Element of Surprise

Israel’s adversaries, including Hezbollah, have lost the element of surprise and cannot unexpectedly join the war. Thus, even this scenario will not be a catastrophe.

Israel’s Historical Resilience

Throughout its history, Israel has emerged victorious in far more challenging situations, so there can be no doubt about victory now, especially when it is the dominant force in the Middle East.

Wishing Success to Those in Battle

You will undoubtedly prevail. I wish good luck to all those currently heading into battle in Israel and to all the peaceful people protected by the Israel Defense Forces. 

Our hearts are with you.

Shared Tragedy and Prospects for Ukrainian-Israeli Relations

Israel will need to completely reassess its own security system and, consequently, its regional policy. 

Using the example of Israel and Ukraine, we can see that the peace process significantly weakens the security system of a country, regardless of whether it complies with peace agreements or not. 

Israel has fulfilled its part, while we haven’t had the chance. 

However, we can see that Israelis and Ukrainians have faced the same evil in their territories.

This evil is coordinated and maintains allied relations. Due to this shared tragedy, we emotionally understand each other, which is reflected in the relations between our two countries and people who are fighting for survival. 

These relations hold promising prospects, which our adversaries are deeply concerned about, as they have initiated a coordinated information campaign aimed at dividing our countries and peoples. 

We will witness significant changes in Ukrainian-Israeli relations, even though a substantial part of these changes may not be visible to the wider public.

The Axis of Evil

The axis of evil has formed and solidified, consisting of the states of Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Russia, with China lurking in the background. They exchange intelligence, weaponry, and technologies among themselves. They collaborate, presenting a collective challenge to the entire democratic world. Iranian drones strike Ukraine; Russia has reconfigured its satellite group to monitor the Middle East, which will likely assist its ally, Iran.

The Risk of a Second Front with Hezbollah

Before commencing a ground operation in Gaza, Israel faces the risk of opening a second front in the north of the country by pro-Iranian Hezbollah, which is located in Lebanon.

Iran’s Control Over Hezbollah

Only Iran can issue orders to Hezbollah leaders to attack Israel, which they are not particularly eager to do due to the likelihood of high casualties in such an operation and the subsequent loss of positions in Lebanon. However, if Iran orders it, the offensive will proceed.

Democratic World Support for Peace

Whether the order will be given remains an open question, but the democratic world, represented by the USA, indicates its support, suggesting that it would be better for Iran to refrain from such a move.
