PNN – In the public mind, Netanyahu will now be known for two disasters: October 7 and the defeat in Iran.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Al Jazeera News Network wrote in an analysis that polls show that the majority of Israelis oppose the ceasefire and expect the war to resume. Israeli leaders promised a final confrontation with Iran, but in practice, the Tehran government has remained in place. Some of the main points of the report are as follows:
- Big promises, small achievements
Netanyahu promised to end Iran’s “existential threat,” but the war failed to fulfill that promise. Iran is still standing; battered but not defeated. Dalia Scheindlin, a political consultant, said: Netanyahu greatly exaggerated the capabilities of the war: the collapse of the regime, the complete destruction of the nuclear program and missiles. Things that were not possible at all.
- Lebanon: A new arena for failure
Israel carried out one of its deadliest attacks on Beirut on the day the ceasefire was announced. However, 69% of Israelis still support continuing the attacks on Lebanon. Former Israeli ambassador Alon Pinkas called the attacks an attempt to divert public attention from the US agreement.
- .The most serious strategic failure
None of the opposition leaders questioned the reasons for the attack on Iran. Yair Golan, leader of the Democratic Party, wrote: Netanyahu lied. He promised a “historic victory,” but we suffered one of Israel’s most severe strategic defeats. Pinkas said: None of the critics questioned the narrative of Iran’s “existential threat.” That’s why they are now frustrated and have started blaming Netanyahu.
- Two disasters in Netanyahu’s career
Pinkas warned that victory over Iran could overshadow the discussion about October 7. But as it stands, in the public mind, there are now two disasters with which Netanyahu will be identified: October 7 and the defeat in Iran.
- Conclusion
Al Jazeera concludes that Israel has effectively lost its strategic independence. “Israel handed over its foreign policy to America years ago,” said former Netanyahu aide Mitchell Barak. In the public mind, two disasters now stand on its record.
