Israel Sits Out New Round of U.S. Strikes

“Israel is sitting it out as the U.S. conflict with Iran heats up again, a posture that suits Washington, its Arab allies—and for now Israel itself,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The U.S. and Israel fought together closely when they launched the war on Iran in February, drawing on each others’ strengths in firepower, intelligence and logistics in an air campaign that had little precedent.”

“Now, the U.S. and regional officials are concerned Israel’s involvement would add a disruptive variable when they are trying to wring diplomatic concessions from Iran and avoid all-out war.”
