Tel Aviv: The US is Israel’s strongest ally in the Middle East, but recent developments in Washington have put Tel Aviv under stress. The way leaks have emerged in recent days from American security and diplomatic sources has increased Israel’s security concerns. Especially when they are linked to Israel and Iran. Defense experts in Israel believe that rather than promoting security and diplomatic stability, these leaks are creating anxiety, pressure and chaos. It is believed that through these leaks, an attempt is being made to escalate the already unstable situation. In fact, Israel has been working on a special strategy to protect itself – an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Israel attacks and destroys its opponents but at the same time it never publicly takes responsibility for these attacks. This balance is extremely important in the tense region of the Middle East. Israel avoided taking public responsibility for any attack, whether it was the attack on the Iranian Embassy in Damascus or the targeting of the city of Esfahan in response to Iran’s attack.
Disappointment over leaks in Israel
But the Pentagon leaked information about the attack on Iran to the American media. Israeli media portal Jerusalem Post, quoting Israeli official sources, has said that there is disappointment in Tel Aviv as to why the Pentagon leaked information to the American media instead of keeping silence on the matter. Israeli sources believe that by doing so the American side has increased unnecessary tension and diplomatic complications.
Threat from American leaks
There is widespread concern in Israel about America making this information public. Bloomberg reported that Israel informed the US about the attack 24 to 48 hours in advance. Israeli sources believe that American officials should have exercised restraint regarding this information, but by leaking this information an atmosphere of tension and fear was created. The Wall Street Journal indicated in an exclusive report that Iran could retaliate against Israel within the next 24 to 48 hours.
Amidst the tension, Iran said – India can make peace with Israel
Israel believes that in an already tense environment, continuous leaks could cause more harm than good. These leaks undermine Israel’s strategy and provoke Iran, which could escalate a broader conflict in the region. The impact of these leaks will extend beyond Israel and Iran. The balance between maintaining confidentiality and public responsibility is extremely important for strategic reasons in the Middle East. But it seems that the US has failed to respect the balance, posing a major threat to stability.
