Knesset extends authority to call up IDF reservists until May 31

Оценка

The extension of reservist call-up authority signals that Israel's military leadership expects sustained operational demands beyond the current calendar year. While the chief of staff claims war objectives have been met, the need to maintain access to hundreds of thousands of reservists suggests either new campaigns are planned or existing fronts remain volatile. The political echelon is effectively keeping a wartime posture without formally declaring a new phase. Watch for whether the Knesset extends this authority again in May, which would indicate a longer-term shift in Israel's reserve mobilization policy.
