Opinion | The price of restraint: Israel loses in political battle Israel today

2022-04-19T20:19:58.847Z


The worrying thing is that through the terrorist attack that Naftali Bennett called a "wave of terrorism", in addition to the riots on the Temple Mount and the attack on worshipers, the Palestinians are able to initiate a political move.


Less than two weeks ago, a Palestinian terrorist from Jenin murdered three Israelis at a bar in Tel Aviv.

After he was killed, the events were described in a typical headline in the Guardian: "Israeli forces killed a Palestinian after a shooting incident in Tel Aviv in which two people were killed."

This is no less than the reversal of the truth.

In the same way, the events of the Temple Mount are perceived in the opposite way in the eyes of Israelis and Muslims.

A complete reversal of aggression and assault, with police forces trying to restore order in Jerusalem being portrayed as aggressors.

No matter how much the Israeli government tried to be restrained, and folded back like a rubber girl in its attempts to deal with the Palestinian terrorist attack solely with defensive tools, it ultimately pays the price in the political arena.

Prime Minister Bennett and Foreign Minister Lapid are not prepared for a political campaign based on confrontation.

In terms of the backlash of the Sunni Arab states, this is no surprise.

The crisis created by the events, especially vis-à-vis the UAE, is a kind of medium-minus earthquake.

Then they will not participate in the Independence Day flight.

What is more worrying is that through the terrorist attack that Naftali Bennett called a "wave of terror", as if it were a 9mm omicron, plus the riots on the Temple Mount and the attack on worshipers in the Old City, the Palestinians are able to initiate a political move.

Bennett and his friends arrive at the moment of truth.

There was once a process called "Rabin will be encouraged."

It was a perfect tragedy.

Now as Marx defines it, comes the farce version: "Bennett will be encouraged."

In his responses to several Twitter tweets from the Likud, Bennett appeared to remain in the propaganda space, but did not reach the leadership level as a statesman.

Violent pressure from the Palestinian territories, accompanied by American political pressure and soon perhaps also Russian, transcends the disintegrating government into a political channel.

Jordan behaves in the most hypocritical way, as usual.

All attempts at reconciliation do not help.

King Abdullah receives the generous advances from Israel, from Defense Minister Bnei Gantz and from Prime Minister Bennett, puts them in his pocket, and returns to Soro with incessant attacks. In the beginning, his water quota was doubled from Israel; .

But what is surprisingly bad is the US response, led by Secretary of State Linken. Instead of backing the Israeli government trying to establish law and order, it attacked "settler violence" and the IDF's entry into "Area A."

As demanded by Abu Mazen, the opening of the American Consulate in Jerusalem will return to the agenda.

The Americans and Palestinians are talking about a "political horizon."

Russia besieged in the international arena will soon demonstrate that it has not forgotten how to use the Palestinian card to gain legitimacy and possibly cause a split in the West.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
