US Ambassador to Israel Mike Hakaby estimates in an interview with ynet and "Yedioth Ahronoth" that Israel will not attack Iran without receiving a "green light" from Washington, saying: "The scenario is not likely in my view." However, he clarifies: Israel will need to make the decision on its own. These statements come as tensions in the Middle East are at their peak and Americans have issued orders to evacuate non-essential workers and family members of employees from embassies across the Middle East. The full interview with Hakaby will be published tomorrow on ynet and "Yedioth Ahronoth".
