International newspapers: Gaza is bringing Washington back to the region, and Netanyahu may lose his position
International newspapers and websites discussed in analyzes and reports the United States’ strong return to the Middle East against the backdrop of the war on the Gaza Strip, and the dimensions of the US administration’s disagreements with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Washington Post said that the war on Gaza brought the United States back into the Middle East, writing, "While American planes were dropping food parcels into Gaza, other fighters and helicopters were over the Red Sea leading efforts to deter the Houthis."
The newspaper adds, "The situation in Gaza taught President Joe Biden, and other American presidents before him, that disengagement from the Middle East is not an easy matter."
Regarding the US administration’s dispute with Netanyahu, The Economist magazine explained the growing criticism of the Israeli Prime Minister in the United States as “a desire by the White House to remove the man from the scene.”
However, the magazine stresses that overthrowing Netanyahu is not an easy matter, and may be fraught with chaos and dangers, “because the path to changing the leadership in Israel is currently complicated, and requires a transitional phase that allows Netanyahu to gather his cards... and if this coincides with the war in Gaza, the Rafah issue, and the tension with the Hezbollah party.” God is in the north, it will be something that calls for slowing down and thinking.”
For its part, the Financial Times described the Israeli Prime Minister as one of the world leaders most favored by the US administration, but he may lose this favor.
The newspaper adds in a lengthy analysis that other Israeli officials had disagreements with Washington, but none of them were rude, according to its expression. It indicates that Netanyahu is betting in managing his relationship with the United States on the lobbies supporting him in Washington and on lawmakers.
On another topic, an analysis by the French newspaper Le Monde monitored growing support for Israel among evangelical Christians in the Americas, and indicated that this support is translated into concrete activities and actions in favor of Israel, but not all of them deviate from religious principles.
