This scenario would have happened if there had been a prime minister in Tel Avivother than Benjamin Netanyahu. But the man who has ruled Israel for nearly a quarter of its life has proven that he is far from compromises and appeasement, turning it into a war in which borders change and maps are reshaped, and while it is approaching the end of its first candle, there is no horizon as to what the situation will be like the next day.
It is considered Netanyahu Exhausting for his allies, as much as it is worrying for his opponents, as Washington showered him with insistence to spare Rafah the horrors of a ground invasion, which was sheltering half of the Strip’s displaced people until last May, but the red line drawn by US President Joe Biden after the invasion of Rafah was destroyed by Netanyahu’s tanks in May, and full control was imposed on Philadelphia Axis.
In the negotiation file, Netanyahu poured his long experience and worked hard to play on the ropes, so he resisted the desire of his army and his people to conclude a deal to release detainees, and opposed the desire of the international community to impose a truce, as he sent delegations to the negotiation rounds in Doha and Cairo, but he affected their tasks with the limited powers of the Israeli team, and the impossible conditions for the negotiators. Hamas Movement.
In the West Bank, the Israeli army has overreached in dealing with small groups of militants, bulldozers have dug up the asphalt of roads in Palestinian cities, and the two extreme right-wing ministers in its government, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, have been given free rein to increase their dominance in national decision-making.
As for Lebanon, Netanyahu has misled the world, especially his ally. Washington That it succeeded in preventing the region from sliding into a regional war, but as soon as it caught its breath from the battles in Gaza, it returned and awakened these fears, as if 11 months of American efforts to calm the situation had not happened.
Last week was full of shocking events, from Pager Tuesday to Walkie Talkie Wednesday, two massacres that left thousands of Hezbollah dead and wounded.
Then, one day later, Netanyahu felt that what he had done was not enough to drag Hezbollah into a broad confrontation, so he dealt a devastating blow to the Radwan Force in Beirut, killing its supreme commander and a number of other first-line leaders.
Today, the Israeli army is carrying out extensive and excessive strikes in the villages and towns of southern Lebanon, and the death toll is increasing with every passing minute. Accordingly, the war raging in Lebanon today is not the disciplined war that the world has been watching for months, but rather it is the harbinger of the open, comprehensive war that Washington and the international community fear.
