Strategic advisor Dr. Rami Sadan has warned that Israel could be on the brink of war within one to two weeks, urging political leaders to cease coalition negotiations and focus on national security. In a video commentary for Channel 7, Sadan emphasized that while this is his personal assessment and not based on classified intelligence, the potential for conflict necessitates an immediate shift from internal political maneuvering to addressing security concerns. He called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other political figures, including Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, and Avigdor Lieberman, to finalize government formation and prepare for a possible military confrontation.
Sadan stressed that the recent election results reflect a public mandate for the right-wing, and leaders must quickly make political decisions based on this outcome. He criticized the media's consumption of political statements, suggesting that pronouncements, such as Lieberman's refusal to sit in a Netanyahu-led government, might be strategic bargaining tactics rather than firm positions. The advisor also voiced strong criticism regarding the involvement of rabbis in political decision-making, arguing that their pre-election predictions about party success have led to problematic political outcomes and potentially strengthened the political power of Arab parties.
He expressed concern that this growing influence could eventually lead to demands for an Arab prime minister. Sadan urged rabbis who made definitive political forecasts to acknowledge potential errors, suggesting that admitting mistakes would enhance, not diminish, their credibility. He differentiated between religious authority and professional expertise, asserting that political and media decisions require specialized knowledge, similar to seeking advice from doctors or engineers.
Concluding his commentary, Sadan reiterated his call for clear leadership, demanding that politicians articulate their security objectives and desired outcomes to the public, especially after three years of ongoing conflict. He highlighted the sacrifices of soldiers, their families, and the women left at home during extended service periods, stating that the public deserves clear answers about the goals of the current military engagement and the desired end state.
