Israel continues to wait for a retaliatory strike by Iran and its allies in the region. How is Israel preparing for the imminent attack? What role will the USA, Russia and Germany play? What consequences will the conflict have for the balance of power in the region? Prof. Schlie fears that the strategic situation could develop to Israel's disadvantage. Nevertheless, he advocates intelligent and far-sighted action, because: "It is never too late for diplomacy. The tense current situation in particular, with the very real danger of a further, possibly uncontrolled expansion of the conflict, speaks in favor of giving diplomacy a chance."
