Israeli Finance minister says the renewed US military campaign against Iran is working in Israel’s favour

# Israeli Finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich says his country has no interest in joining the renewed US military campaign against Iran. Israel and America started the war with coordinated attacks on Tehran on 28 February, prompting Iran to retaliate against US military assets across the Middle East. Smotrich says the current war and sustained economic pressure on Iran benefit Israel. He added that the ultimate goal of Israel, and not necessarily the US, is to undermine and weaken the regime in Iran – to the point of overthrowing it.
