Some in Israel want to join the US-Iran flare-up and renew strikes on the Islamic Republic, but are waiting for a go-ahead from US President Donald Trump, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
The unsourced report says officials in Jerusalem estimate that the mutual attacks between the US and Iran will continue in the next few days.
Similarly, The New York Post quotes a Jerusalem source as saying Israel is interested in joining future strikes and fully renewing the war.
“We’re willing to do it again, if needed,” the unnamed source is quoted as saying on Wednesday, before the US began striking Iran.
The source adds that while Israel is “not eager to go back to the day when people have to go to shelters,” it doesn’t want to “ignore what’s happening in Iran.”
“So if that will be the price we’ll have to pay, we will bear with that situation.”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
