Jonathan Saya, an analyst on Middle East issues at the Fund for the Defense of Democracies, said that the threat of the Islamic Republic of Israel is a critical issue and is agreed upon by a wide range of political and security currents. According to him, even if Gadi Eisenkot wins the elections, there will be no significant change in Israel's policy towards the Islamic Republic, but it is possible that the way this policy is conducted and the approach to the change of government in Tehran will be different.
