Jerusalem: Israelis expressed relief and optimism Sunday after US President Donald Trump ordered air strikes on Iran, 10 days into a war that has widespread public support. Despite daily nerve-shredding trips to bomb shelters and growing damage around the country, Israelis appeared united behind Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s move to attack Iran on June 13.

According to France24.com, the air strikes ordered by President Trump have been a significant point of discussion in Israel. The nation, accustomed to frequent threats and conflicts, has shown robust support for Netanyahu’s decisive action against Iran. This unity comes despite the rising tension and the tangible impacts of war felt through daily disruptions and threats to civilian life.

The decision to engage militarily with Iran followed escalating tensions, and Netanyahu’s leadership during this period has been critical in maintaining national morale and unity. The Israeli public’s backing signifies a collective resolve to confront security threats, even as the challenges of war persist. This consensus underscores Netanyahu’s strong position in navigating the complex geopolitical landscape of the Middle East.
