Prof. Kobi Michael discusses the strategic complexity of Israel’s multi-front war, arguing that while the IDF has achieved military success in places like Lebanon, political and international restrictions have prevented these gains from being translated into a final political victory.

He further emphasizes that Iran remains an existential threat to Israel and suggests that the Israeli government may eventually be forced to take unilateral military action against the Iranian regime if the United States does not lead a full-scale campaign to stop its nuclear and regional aspirations.

The full interview took place on ILTV on June 29, 2026.
