Israel Remains Focused on Iran
(JNS) Charles Bybelezer - While new elections are being planned in Israel, the former head of Israel's National Security Council, Maj.-Gen. (ret.) Giora Eiland, said, "There will be no change in Israeli policy vis-a-vis Iran." "Contrary to the image politicians craft, even if they appear to be making decisions, the strategies they are based on are almost always formed from the bottom up - by the various agencies in the security establishment. So it does not necessarily matter who is at the top at any given time." Moreover, Eiland said, "Israel's policy on Iran is widely supported by almost everyone here, including those in the defense apparatus as well as analysts such as former generals like myself. There is no pressure being applied on the political echelon to make any modifications."
