memorandum of understanding could not lead to a sustainable agreement, and the conflicts resumed afterward. This process indicates the difficulty of converting military pressure into sustainable political and security arrangements.
From a strategic perspective, the main issue for Israel is not only the extent of damage inflicted on the opposing side; rather, the ability to achieve the declared objectives, maintain deterrence, manage reciprocal attacks, and prevent the expansion of war is also important. In contrast, Iran has also faced heavy human, economic, and infrastructural costs; therefore, assessing this confrontation without taking into account the costs of both sides provides an incomplete picture.
Overall, economic pressures, political disputes, the consequences of the Gaza war, insecurity on the northern front, and the costs of confrontation with Iran have placed a set of interconnected challenges before Israel. The simultaneous intensification of these pressures can reduce the Israeli regime’s room for maneuver, deepen social fissures, and provide the ground for new political crises.
