Former National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror, a senior researcher at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, addressed the tensions surrounding a potential campaign against Iran, saying in an interview with Ynet studio that "we don't need to stop our lives. Especially if you have a ticket with an Israeli company." According to him, "the Middle East will not be a quiet area like Switzerland and Germany, it will be something else. We continue our daily routine. If war comes, we don't need to stop just because there's a very reasonable chance that the Americans will attack."
