CNN’s Clarissa Ward: Netanyahu Just Had the Best Two Weeks of His Political Career

EXCERPT:

WARD: "The Jewish-Israeli population is overwhelmingly supportive of this. I mean, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has just had like the best two weeks, possibly of his political career, but certainly since October 7th. And every Israeli who I spoke to, you know, we talk a lot, in the media and just in the international community, about the ambiguity around Iran’s nuclear program and were they really trying to build a bomb and how close were they? That is not a conversation that’s being had an Israel. Israelis fundamentally believe that Iran’s regime seeks to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. They see this as an existential issue. They see this as a question of survival. And I think there was also a sense of pride for many Israelis looking at how this operation was carried out, the deep penetration with their intelligence, the fact that the entire leadership of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps was effectively decapitated in matter of days in a sort of stunning set of strikes that I don’t think anyone had expected to happen because, by the way, the Iranians and Americans were supposed to meet that weekend in Oman to have a discussion about their nuclear program. So, broad support in Israel, absolutely, for this."
