Why is Iran delaying an attack on Israel? The New York Times recalled that American, Israeli, Egyptian and Qatari officials met on Friday in the Qatari capital, Doha, to discuss differences between Israel and Hamas.
Egypt, Qatar and the United States said they had offered Israel and Hamas a “transitional period” plan in line with the terms set out by President Joe Biden on May 31 and approved by the UN Security Council. The talks were described as “serious and constructive” and the atmosphere as “positive.”
According to The New York Times, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani called Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani, urging him to refrain from actions that could lead to escalation. The very next day after the talks, Israeli intelligence noted a reduction in the combat capability of Iranian and Hezbollah missile units. “Events are moving quickly, and because of this, assessments are changing quickly.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recently tightened the conditions for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, demanding that Israeli troops remain on the border with Egypt to prevent Hamas from acquiring new weapons, The Wall Street Journal reports, noting that the Israeli army has increased its combat readiness due to fears of possible attacks from Iran and Hezbollah.
