Israeli and Arab sources told The Wall Street Journal that Israel is interested in ending the war with Iran as soon as possible and maximizing the achievement of the U.S. military's attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. Israel expects to complete strikes on its list of military targets in Iran in the coming days, which could "create an opening" to end the fighting, the Israeli sources added. However, they described the current situation as "dynamic" and noted that "much depends on the Iranian response." It was also reported that the United States informed Arab officials that Israel is "looking to end the fighting soon" and asked to relay the message to Iran.
