In a sharp assertion, former IDF officer and foreign policy expert Dan Feferman said that whether the US enters the ongoing conflict is America’s internal decision. He emphasized that Israel has never asked any other country to fight its wars, underlining Israel’s position as a sovereign nation that takes charge of its own security. The comment comes amid growing international debate over Washington’s possible military involvement as tensions in the region escalate. Feferman’s statement seeks to counter narratives suggesting that Israel is pushing the US or other allies into direct conflict. This strong stance reflects Israel’s desire to project self-reliance even in challenging times.
