- On March 19, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be the chief political beneficiary if the US-Israeli campaign ended tomorrow, while Donald Trump faces market shocks and no clear exit.
- Israel and the U.S. have divided the air campaign, with Israel striking western and northern Iran and the U.S. targeting the east and Strait of Hormuz; Defence Minister Israel Katz authorised strikes on any senior Iranian official, with Israeli media reporting some attacks had U.S. consent.
- Israeli markets surged and the shekel strengthened amid the conflict, but Netanyahu's right‑wing coalition holds around 50 of the Knesset's 120 seats, down from 68.
