Jared Kushner, former senior advisor to President Trump, has emphasized the strategic opportunity for Israel following the recent assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Kushner stated that Hezbollah, which has long been considered a significant threat to Israel, acted as a deterrent preventing Israel from targeting Iran's nuclear facilities. With Hezbollah now weakened, Kushner argues that Israel is in a position to 'finish the job' and eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities. He noted that Iran's nuclear facilities have remained intact primarily due to Hezbollah's deterrent role and Iran's weak air defense systems. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability, but with Iran now exposed, Israel has a unique chance to act decisively.
