Israel is interested in ending the war with Iran as soon as possible, and maximizing the achievement of the U.S. military's successful attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, Israeli and Arab sources told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
Israel expects to complete the attack on the list of military targets in Iran in the coming days, which could "create a path" for an end to the fighting, Israeli officials told the Journal.
However, they defined the current situation as "dynamic," and noted that "much depends on the Iranian response." It was also reported that the U.S. informed officials from Arab countries in the region that Israel "seeks to end the fighting as soon as possible" - and asked to convey the message to Iran.
Iran, for its part, responded that it is not prepared to withdraw at this stage, as it feels obligated to respond to the American attack on the nuclear facilities. An Israeli official emphasized that the IDF would continue to attack Iran as long as the Iranians continued to attack back - even if Israel ostensibly ended its attacks. "They will attack - we will attack," he told the Journal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that "we will not be dragged into a war of attrition — but we also will not end this historic operation until we have met all our goals.”
