Israeli leaders tell citizens to prepare for lengthy conflict with Iran • FRANCE 24 English
a week ago now at the very beginning of the war in these sort of formal initial announcements both the prime minister and the Israeli army said that there was a plan in place for 14 days of war for a two week uh kind of special operation let’s call it but today both the chief of staff of the army and the prime minister speaking in public said that um uh disrupting the work of such a formidable enemy as Iran is a long-term job and that the army is geared up and prepared for a lengthy battle so you know it’s um and and a few days ago we heard the prime minister if I’m not mistaken or the defense minister mention a 30 day war and meanwhile behind the scenes as you mentioned earlier there are diplomatic efforts underway some fairly urgent ones uh to at least bring this fighting to a ceasefire so it’s very very difficult to know what they mean at least here in Israel what they mean when they say two weeks four weeks or just a very long period of time and you very clearly at the outset no talked about this strategic faint you know this kind of deliberate false move going on at the start this time last week or just before Friday the preparations that Benjamin Netanyahu was going to head to the northern coast of Israel for the wedding of his son and we saw didn’t we this kind of hint a little bit later on that had been putting signs out there placing a a prayer note into the to the western wall suggesting a quote I think from the book of numbers quoting you the rise of the lion operation rising lion a week on are you getting more of a sense of of the stories emerging of of how this has been so carefully planned this has been planned for a very long time on very different levels not all of them and maybe even not the majority of them having to do with the prime minister who of course did have to give the final okay um what we’re getting a sense of I am at least getting a much clearer sense of it what it was in recent weeks and months that made uh the Israeli authorities in general feel that the danger being presented by Iran had grown so not only the figures um and the scientific data brought by the UN watchdog which was announced in a I think by coincidence in a dossier presented on Thursday just hours before the Israeli attack but Israeli intelligence which we now know has a very in Iran had accumulated over recent months what it considers evidence of Iran clearly and pace by pace advancing towards weaponsgrade uranium enrichment and in Israel the feeling was growing that this could not be allowed to
Israeli’s military chief Eyal Zamir said that his country should be “ready for a prolonged campaign” against Iran, as the longtime foes exchanged fire for the eighth day. FRANCE 24’s correspondent in Jerusalem, Noga Tarnopolsky, comments on the latest announcement.

Trump and Musk is eating Turkish Centauri Honey worth $1,300,000.00 for breakfast and acts like he’s a man of the people — and American taxpayers are falling for it. We dont want our tax dollars sepent for Izrael by them
A rise lion operation was transformed into a rise goat operation
Operation Flaccid Lion.
Iron Dome's name has been changed to Iron Sieve.
The word "fighting" implies equal culpability.
Last I remember, Iran did not attack their nuclear facilities and assassinate their top people.
Many Israel citizens are leaving for Italy.
israel does nothing except lie. isreal told America if it joined the war, it would be over in a couple of days. War is never cut and dry.
Better hide in the bunker Noga! Things are gonna get worse (as half of your reporting is just lying or „I think“ and „I guess“ we will not miss you)
operation rising liar.
USA, President Trump
Keep lying Israel nobody believes u anymore
Who appointed Israel the Nuclear watchdog?
She likes to cook up stories without any shred of evidence whatsoever and its shocking how western media gobbles it up. To take Isr intelligence at face value itself is a shocking lack of professionalism. Somehow we are take this seriously when we know what happened in Iraq.
Iran is a sooper power and elected government by their people. Not like iraq sunni vs shia. Iran 92 % shia. This 92 % people suport their regeme
Good luck. They can barely exist without their american backers
Earn it, son.
This is what you were made to do.
The threat to Netanyahu has risen, thats why they need to escalate the war.
I am always on the mark when not allowed to edit spelling..Plus, I told you guys what dovetails after this military action 2-3 years ago…" Carlos Munoz' Ferrada's Heculobus–planet-comet system..People sitting at home receiving daily updates on this miltary action, will be running around looking for caves..Caves that go deep..Global destruction from above could start today, but we think a couple or three pulls off the global treat so called Elites have in store..
It is very unlikely that the IAEA report release was a coincidence, more likely it was coordinated.
Israeli people have been living in lengthy conflict already for last couple of years. Bibi wants to start another war to keep it going so he can stay in power. So people will die, so what.
Gharqad Tree is waiting
Nathanyaho to Trump "We attacked Iran, now they are fighting back, that's antisemitic"
Why don't they tell that to the American taxpayer, the one footing the bill.
H advised his citizens similarly, despite knowing he was losing- his regime ended 30 days later. Deeply disturbed psychopathic leaders bring death/devastation and destruction to every thing they touch. Making false promises and sucking people dry is what these tyrants do.
More likely Israel want their citizens to be hamas
One thing about war? It grows and spreads, and no one knows when it will end? Actors Act!
I thought israelis were going to be done with Iran in two weeks? Looks like they can't do much without americans 😂
They also said they were trying to get back the hostages and were going to defeat Hamas lol
