Will Biden sacrifice Netanyahu?
Biden, as the US presidential elections approach, and there are great risks of his resounding fall in these elections, linked to the American adherence to the Israeli position and identification with it, in the aggressive war being waged on the Gaza Strip. Perhaps the scale and costs of Israeli "savagery", especially after the killing that targeted seven aid workers working in the "World Central Kitchen", and the accompanying global discontent against the occupation government, discontent that manifested itself in widespread popular protests around the world, and restlessness at the level of decision-makers in Countries supporting the occupying state, especially the British threat to the Netanyahu government, that a British report will be published, stating that Israel is a state violating international law.
Biden is now realizing that if he does not jump from the top of the tree and let Netanyahu drown, his fate will be a resounding fall in the US presidential elections, as happened with the Turkish “Justice and Development” Party, which suffered a severe loss in the Turkish local elections, against the backdrop of the Turkish position on the aggressive war on the Gaza Strip, there is an American fear that the state of popular rebellion and the ongoing and continuing marches and demonstrations in European countries may lead to the fall of Biden’s far-right allies in those countries.
CIA reports clearly tell Biden that your attachment to Netanyahu will push the swing states inhabited by an Arab-Muslim majority, African immigrants, young Americans and Jews not to vote for you and the Democratic Party, and therefore Biden, who is fed up with Netanyahu’s political childishness and recklessness, which the most recent of which was Netanyahu’s bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus and the killing of a number of commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. This operation was intended by Netanyahu as an escape forward, in order to shuffle the cards and compensate for the predicament he is experiencing in the ongoing war of attrition in which his army is drowning in the quagmire of the Gaza Strip. With the entry of war is in its seventh month, and it has not been able to achieve any military or field goal or achievement, other than committing more killings against civilians. There has been no victory achieved, no image of victory, no elimination of the resistance and its leaders, and no recovery of prisoners. Netanyahu wanted to provoke an Iranian response that would lead to a comprehensive war, in which America and NATO would intervene alongside Israel. Here, the cards would be shuffled and international attention would be diverted from his crimes in the Gaza Strip.
Iran has decided to respond to the military operation, and its highest religious authority and Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, Imam Ali Khamenei, tweeted on the “X” website in Hebrew, “The response is coming and you will regret your action.” This Iranian response, which seems to have been decided, has created a state of extreme panic and confusion.
Within Israel, whether in terms of mobilizing the home front and opening shelters, or calling up the reserves in the Air Force and Air Defense, announcing the start of jamming the GPS system, and mobilizing more anti-missile missile batteries and drones towards the northern and eastern fronts, which are the fronts from which the targeting is expected to come later, the Israeli military spokesman addressed the settlers, urging them not to rush to ATMs to withdraw money, and to stop panicking in stockpiling food supplies, and stressing that there was no need to buy electrical generators, after consumable supplies had run out of food supplies, generators had run out at points of sale, and cash had dried up from Automated teller machines, due to the state of panic that struck the settlers, with a climate of political and military alert in anticipation of a coming response, as Israeli newspapers and media reported on American messages that reached the leaders of the entity.
After the killing of the seven aid workers, the intensity of the tactical dispute between America and Israel escalated, and it became clear that Biden had become fed up with Netanyahu and his childish actions and pranks, and that these behaviors might expose him to a severe defeat in the American presidential elections, and therefore came the reprimanding call between Biden and Netanyahu, which Netanyahu swallowed. Against the backdrop of the American position summarized by US Chief National Security Advisor John Kirby and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken (from the Zionist team in the US administration) that Israeli behavior may push towards changing US policy towards Israel, the American position was summarized in four points, which are: No discussion. In the battle of Rafah, anger at the assassination of the international kitchen team, insistence on opening the crossings for humanitarian aid, and an open mandate to the head of the Mossad and the head of the Shin Bet to reach a negotiated solution regarding a ceasefire and the exchange of prisoners.
Netanyahu is terrified of the American administration abandoning him, in light of Iranian threats to respond to the operation he carried out against its consulate in Damascus and the resulting killing of a number of Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders there, as the American administration cannot tell Iran not to escalate and expand the circle of war, in accordance with the agreement. Between the two parties in the negotiations that took place in Oman between them, it was unable to restrain its ally and partner from carrying out a raid on its consulate in Damascus.
Iran is fully aware that Netanyahu’s operation expresses his ongoing dilemma in his ongoing aggressive war in the Gaza Strip, and the internal and external crises he faces, which he wanted to export abroad and to convince the Israeli public that he is capable of achieving achievements by killing many leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. And that he seeks to impose new rules of engagement, and to restore part of the prestige of military deterrence, which will not enable him to achieve this because it harms its prestige and reputation inside Iran and among allies and friends, and constitutes a retreat in the face of the Israeli deterrence force. Therefore, the decision to respond was taken by the highest religious authority and the commander. Supreme Leader of the Iranian Armed Forces, Imam Ali Khamenei.
This American position terrified Netanyahu, as he called his war council to convene and approve the American demands, which he justified as necessary for the continuation of the military operation, the invasion of Rafah, and the achievement of what he calls an “overwhelming victory.” The expansion of the entry of humanitarian aid, food, medical, and fuel from Israel, was approved. More than one crossing, by opening the “Erez” and Kerem Shalom crossings to Jordanian aid, and using the port of Ashdod to enter that humanitarian aid as well, and increasing that aid by up to 500 trucks per day, and punitive measures were also taken against a number of military commanders against the backdrop of the killing of aid workers. The seven include dismissing the commander of the Al-Nahal Brigade, the commander of the District Assistance, reprimanding the commander of the Southern Region and the commanders of the 162nd Division and the Al-Nahal Brigade, as well as giving the commanders of the “Mossad” and “Shin Bet” broader powers to reach an exchange deal with the Palestinian resistance, and a temporary ceasefire for 42 days.
Biden is fully aware that Netanyahu is trying to continue wasting time, deceiving, and misleading, in order to get closer to holding the American presidential elections, and he is waiting for the return of his Republican friend Trump, and that the American administration cannot exert harsh pressure on him, and therefore Biden, within the framework of differentiation in interests and priorities, He will not be sorry for Netanyahu's departure, if the price is that he reaches the White House again, and his attitude is now saying: After all these successive developments, "Saad has survived, Saeed has perished."
