Israel’s 2025 Outlook: Navigating Conflict and Regional Shifts
As Israel enters 2025, security experts predict a year filled with challenges but also opportunities for progress. In an article for The Media Line, Maayan Hoffman interviews three experts who analyze the complex dynamics facing Israel, including the aftermath of October 2023’s attacks, the ongoing threat from Hamas, and the prospects of addressing Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Researcher Kobi Michael notes that while the year ahead will be turbulent, it may see fewer casualties than 2024. Israeli author, thought leader, and former Member of Knesset Einat Wilf emphasizes that Israel has regained some of its regional standing, and Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi suggests decisive actions, including eliminating Hamas as a military force and countering Iran’s influence, could reshape the future.
