    Unfortunately that is minister of diaspora, not of defense. I've been very disappointed in Israel.

    involved or supporting from the outside?
    to me there is a difference between providing arms and aid compared to actively firing arms ourselves.
    what i mean is Israel may very well attack iran directly for this, expanding the fronts into multiple countries.
    an official world war.
    otherwise many wars could be considered a world war. The gulf war could be as well.
    im talking about multiple fronts across multiple countries all engaging. Drafts
    Etc.

    To me its far from a world war yet. But can change very quickly.

    I highly doubt that Israel is starting their own war with Iran over the use of drones in Ukraine.

    We should send drones to Ukraine with Russian and Lakers symbols on them.
