"Tehran will not send its military into the war zone to help Hamas."

"There are good reasons to believe that Iran has decided not to enter the conflict directly."

"The likelihood of an expanded regional war... is low."

"[T]he risk of direct US involvement in the [Israel-Hamas war]... is higher than most people realize."

Despite no country wanting a regional conflict, "each country acts in such a way that exponentially increases its likelihood."

"[D]evelopments on the ground have the potential to escalate quickly, making the unthinkable [a major Middle East war] unavoidable."

The Israel-Hamas war "raises the very real risk of a catastrophic regional conflagration."

"[T]he risk of an expansion of this conflict is real, very, very real and extremely dangerous."

“Due to the expansion of the intensity of the war against Gaza’s civilian residents, expansion of the scope of the war has become inevitable.”

“Everything is in place for a cascading series of events that will culminate in Israel attacking Iran.”

US support "to Israel's right to defend itself is ironclad... and that's not going to change."

The US' "ironclad commitment to Israel's security... has never been stronger."

"Without humanitarian aid, even our best friends will find it difficult to support us for a long time."

"Israel has to be very careful, because you're losing a lot of the world, you're losing a lot of support."

"If [Israel] keeps this up with this incredibly conservative government... they're going to lose support from around the world."

Israelis "are facing major, possibly generational damage to their reputation."

"[U]nless Israel changes its course it will continue to lose support."

Israel is "burning through its reserves of international support."

"When all this is over... International sympathy will have expired and Israel will be forced to exist in an even greater state of siege."

“I will not allow it [a two-state solution]."

Netanyahu's government "doesn't want anything remotely approaching a two-state solution.

"The only thing that Iran and Israel have in common is that neither of them believes in a two-state solution."

"[T]he current conflict is likely to put the last nail in the coffin of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process."

"A two-state solution exists only in theory. In practice, it died long ago."

"The war between Israel and Hamas makes the two-state solution less viable than ever before."

“[W]hat has happened on 7 October has postponed the possibility of the two-state solution."

"The two-state solution remains on the table, if only for the lack of any viable alternative."

"If Israel has the will, or capacity, to relocate 200,000 settlers from the West Bank and Jerusalem, a two-state solution is a viable option."

"If international actors can muster enough political will and capital... they could still bring about [a two-state solution]."

“[The two-state solution] is the only solution – there is no realistic competition.”

"We are not going to occupy Gaza - we are going to free Gaza from Hamas."

"Israel will not annex or occupy Gaza."

"Unless the United States changes its stance, I think ultimately, Israel will continue with this plan."

"I think Trump is going to let Netanyahu do whatever he wants."

"Israel will take control of Gaza."

"We are conquering Gaza to stay – there will be no more temporary manoeuvring. It's time to stop fearing the word occupation."

The IDF "will deepen the planning, prepare at the highest level in all its aspects, and as always, we will carry out the mission in the best possible way."
