        "summary": "Political analyst Imad Abu Awad argues that Iran's ongoing attacks are undermining Israel's official narrative of having severely weakened Tehran's capabilities, exacerbating doubts about the damage inflicted on Iran and its remaining ballistic missile arsenal. He notes that the prolonged war and rising costs hinder Netanyahu's government from promoting early tactical gains, while public resolve to end the threat decisively is strong but overshadowed by unanswered questions about Israel's ability to sustain a long-term conflict. The analyst highlights the unforeseen scenario of extensive infrastructure destruction, casualties, economic setbacks, and disrupted daily life, for which the Israeli government lacks a clear response.",
        "content": "<p>In an analysis of the situation in Israel, political researcher and\nanalyst Imad Abu Awad stated that the continuation of Iran\u2019s attacks is\nweakening Israel\u2019s official narrative regarding the diminishing\ncapabilities of Tehran. \u201cThis will further worsen Israel\u2019s inability to\nconvince the public that they have inflicted major damage on the Iranian\nregime and that Iran does not have many ballistic missiles left,\u201d he\nsaid, quoted from Aljazeera on Sunday (22\/3\/2026). He added to Aljazeera\nthat the prolongation of the war and the increasing costs will make the\nNetanyahu government unable to promote even the tactical achievements\ngained at the beginning of the war. Regarding the impact of the Israeli\nPrime Minister\u2019s speech referencing history and religion, Abu Awad\nexplained that the speech might succeed in the short term, possibly\nlasting for a few weeks or even months, amid growing conviction among\nIsraeli society of the need to resolve the current confrontation. He\nnoted that this conviction has taken root not only in Netanyahu but\nthroughout Israel, including the opposition, which is no less extreme at\nthis stage. \u201cThe general atmosphere tends towards ending the threat\ncompletely to prevent it from recurring in the future,\u201d he said.\nNevertheless, Abu Awad highlighted fundamental questions that Israel has\nyet to answer, namely to what extent its capabilities can bear the costs\nof a long-term war. He stated that the continuation of Iranian attacks\nwith this intensity means more destroyed infrastructure, more wounded\nand dead victims, economic setbacks, and disruption of life in Israel.\n\u201cThis scenario was never anticipated by the Israeli government, and to\nthis day, they do not have a clear answer to deal with it,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
