So first of all, do you think it's realistic to think that from the air, Israel or the U.S. and Israel together could bring down the regime? And is that something that the Israeli security establishment had been talking about for years?

Well, to say that the Israeli establishment has been talking about this for years would be less accurate.

Israel's security establishment has been working for many years to push back the Iranian nuclear program and also to prepare a military strike.

And again, did not solve the problem altogether.

We still have enriched uranium in Iran that we'll need to take care of.

And I'm sure we'll talk about this later.

From an Israeli perspective, the regime of Iran was, of course, a threat, a viable threat.

So what did we achieve and what did we really not do as well as we might have promised or as well as we might have hoped?

From an Israeli perspective, the regime of Iran, uh, was, uh, of course a threat, a viable threat, and th-there was an understanding that as long as, uh, this regime controls Iran, it will be very difficult to really solve the Iranian, uh, uh, problem.

Israel for years worked on degrading the Iranian regime, pushing the Iranian regime, trying to push for a change of policy of the Iranian regime.

Is he a threat? Is he someone we can work with? Is he still a jihadist? What's your take? What should Israel be doing with this new government? Should we remain in Syria? Should we be protecting the Druze? Should we give them a chance?
