Israelis ‘feel safer than during the first month of this war’
Alon Liel, the former director of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, says the feeling in Israel is that the main conflict with Iran is just about to begin.
“We’re getting closer to the date when Iran will be the enemy directly – not the proxies Hamas or Hezbollah. Of course, it’s frightening. We know Iran’s military abilities. We’ve felt it twice for a long period of time when we were in the shelters when rockets from Iran were coming,” Liel told Al Jazeera.
“We know we’re in the middle. We know we’re under attack, and to a certain extent vulnerable. But I would say people feel safer than during the first month of this war.”
