So the mood overall is optimistic.
Israelis have been through this before.
But then there's also that component, which is incredibly sad and tragic.
The biggest difference is Israel has a true partner.
The Americans were very helpful in the 12-day war, but they adopted a defensive posture.
So they were there, as they have trained for many, many years in the past.
When I was ambassador, they were training these
operations, but those were training with regard to defense, to intercepting ballistic missiles.
And they performed a very valuable task, although in those days Israel did intercept most of the missiles on its own.
Now, offensively, you know, the big brother is coming to help Israel.
I mean, this is, you know, two carrier strike groups, the full weight of CENTCOM
the U.S.
military intelligence.
So it's a completely different operation, completely different goals, I would add as well.
And I think we're going to see very, very striking results as a result.
President Trump is not going to
let this drag.
This is not going to be a war where they're trading volleys.
It's not going to be a war of attrition.
Trump wants to end this, and he's going to end this just as quickly as he can, and the Israelis are going to play an important role.
