In an uncommon front-page, top-headline editorial, Amos Regev, the editor of daily “Israel Hayom” (Israel today), discusses the decision regarding an Israel military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Regev, a member of Binyamin Netanyahu’s inner circle between his two terms as Prime Minister, attacks those speaking against the war, and concludes that “Yes, it’s possible to attack – and to succeed.”
“Israel Hayom”, launched in 2007 by international casino American and Republican billionaire, Sheldon Adelson, is known for its deep commitment to supporting Prime Minister Netanyahu. The paper – now the most widely read daily in Israel – is distributed for free; lately, it was revealed the paper’s senior political analyst is also employed for advising and speech writing at the Prime Minister Office.

“Difficult, daring, possible.” Headline of Israel Hayom calling for attack on Iran, March 15, 2012.
Regev claims that comparing the Iranian threat to the Holocaust is both historically and politically correct: “comparing the Nazis to Tehran? Absolutely. For one simple reason – it’s true,” writes Regev,. The final paragraph states again: “With or without the Americans, it [an attack on Iran] would be difficult. It would be daring. But it’s possible.”
