A senior European ambassador told ynet that the United States will not give Israel the green light for a large-scale attack on Iran in the near future, fearing it would jeopardize its plan for rehabilitating the Gaza Strip. "But do I think Israeli military action will happen in the next 12 months? I personally fear it will," the ambassador qualified. According to him, "There is great concern in the international community that the Iranian leadership has not drawn the right conclusions from the last round."
