With attention fixed on the potential developments between the US
and Iran, could the Israeli government be forced to end the war
earlier than it might like?

The last few weeks have seen daily air strikes by Israel on Iran,
and retaliatory attacks that have killed and injured Israelis.
The wider picture is of two and a half years of constant
conflict, particularly in Gaza.

In this conversation, Mishal Husain speaks to Shira Efron, who
has been a Middle East analyst for the last 20 years and is now
Distinguished Chair for Israel Policy at RAND. They discuss
Israeli public opinion on Iran, the extent of the military
operation in Lebanon and what’s at stake in the Israeli election
due later this year.
