At times after October 7, Benjamin Netanyahu promised a war “to change the Middle East.” It’s been almost two years ago, the region is actually very different. In fact, Netanyahu can claim the victory in Lebanon, where Hizbollah was set. As a byproduct, the fall of Bashar al-Assad next door is a great comfort of Syrians. But Gaza is a cluster, with more than 50,000 Palestinians who have been killed and 53 Israel.
Now he is on his Next target: Iran. Since Friday, Israeli military campaign has become clearer than nuclear targets and military targets. Netanyahu has no doubt working to convince Donald Trump to join and help deliver a knockout blowing theocratic regime.
But the Prime Minister of Israel has a dismal record to arrive in military victories in prolonged diplomatic successes and even a greater greater record of the regional understanding of his surroundings. During the past 20 months, Netanyahu refused to win – if the murder of Hamas Leader Yahya, or changed from new leaders in Syria. Instead he continued to beat Lebanon, and hit Syria, while the rest of the region was actively helping governments to build and establish their nations. Israel also got a 400 sq deminitarized buffer zone inside Syria, forever.
The most fierce irony at the moment is 40 years ago, at the length of the Iran-Iraq war, a proposed sale of Iranian weapons to avoid all the victories in Iran. That war ends with a strip and the Islaic Republics endured.
Netanyahu did not play an essential role in the Iran-Contra scandal during the Reagan administration, but his principle showed a steady policy of building enemies that he could destroy enemies. Israel helped build Hamas to weaken the Palestine Liberation Organization in the 1980s and, more likely to not expect the Palestinian Authority. Netanyahu helped channel millions of dollars to Hamas to before October 7. Now Israel gave Gaza weapons to weaken Hamas. It helps to ensure that there is no survival state of Palestine that has emerged.
Netanyahu is also a false false region, from his inability to understand the true nature of Iranian theocracy in the 1980s of his invasion of US in Iraq. He predicted that the expulsion of Saddam Hussein would bring “many positive respect” in the Middle East and prompting the Iranian to rise against their leaders. The opposite occurring: It is a costly strategic danger that empowers Tehran and opens the years of blood sheath.
Today, only a few weeps for a Iranian regime who has been able to have the life of millions and is responsible for the deceased thousands in the region – but Iranians do not wait to release the bombings of Israel. In a strange way, Israel now appeared to be imitating the role of Iran – remain in a war, building the basics of rags and a sense of worthlessness.
Alan Eyre, a former US diplomat joining past nuclear negotiations in Iran, it is set to the world and we just look at it today. “But this is not the world of the neighbors of Israel – or the true Israelites – wants. UAE and Saudi Arabia chased the détente with Tehran.
It may not even like what Washington wants. Trump is campaigning with a promise not to participate in many wars and wants his “Nixon to China Moment” in Iran. He may have engaged in an experienced campaign in CheatsIt is disturbing Iran in talks while Israel prepares to attack, but Trump is not as the discipline needed for such a step. He is likely to unite the back of the fait of Netanyyahu, hoping that it can be Iran in Iran in difficult concessions.
Here where two men are likely to move: where Netanyahu wants the iranian capital and even the regime’s change, Trumpe says he wants a nuclear agreement with Iran. The US president must be very careful when calling the Siren calls to Netanyahu to make Iran again and half the east, with some more strikes, and then some more.
There are many wonderful about Israel’s odd opening against Iran and Massad with many tricks of it. But wars were judged how they finished – and Netanyahu showed that he did not know how to bring for war.
