Israel and the fear of prestige?

The US administration's hesitation to receive Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since his victory in the recent elections, as well as the administration's criticism of the "provocative" settlement activities and the expression of dissatisfaction with the Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, sparked mixed reactions in the political circles. Some of them are concerned about Israel's place in American priorities, while others understand the American position, and hold the Netanyahu government responsible for its decline because of its involvement in internal policies that would change the identity of the state, deepen the division at the level of the people and institutions, and increase the dose of settlement, which the US administration is still wary of.

However, the fear over America's status remains limited and addressable if the nature and basis of the relationship between America and the deep state Israel, and in particular its military security establishment, is considered.

However, what called for greater concern was the normalization of Saudi-Iranian relations, which withdrew from Israel one of the most important cards that were essential in marketing its regional influence. This danger.

It is self-evident that Israel fears for its position, as long as its government is headed by Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich and other racist legends who embrace the slogan "Death to the Arabs is a political and ideological constant."

The growing danger to Israel

And the last thing that was released in this regard is the emergence of anxiety that amounts to fear of a future and very close normalization between Egypt and Iran, because this normalization complementing the Saudi-Iranian normalization has a positive impact on the political climate in the region, as it will close many voids that were fertile grounds in which to play. This is because the most profitable Israeli investment takes place in an atmosphere of comprehensive tension in the region, which almost transformed Israel from an adversary to everyone into an influential player among all, until it seemed to many countries in the region that the relationship with it is a safety valve and a guaranteed way out of economic crises, in addition to the fact that Tel Aviv is a contractor Active and successful in relations with America and the countries that revolve around it. And if the normalization of relations between the countries of the region continues to include Turkey and Egypt, and perhaps Syria as well, then Israel's concern will increase beyond what it is.

Israel's fear of prestige is neither regional nor international, but rather domestic and Palestinian. Domestically, here is the country whose leaders have traded so much that it is the oasis of green democracy in the desert of the Middle East, settling in a situation completely contradictory to its claim, as it is heading towards a racist, non-democratic rule rejected by the majority of Israelis, and a Palestinian continues with the fiercest means and methods to rule another people who number in the millions, and seize their property. And the permissibility of his life, and care for the longest and deepest calamity known to mankind, which forced the United Nations to recognize it, and to condemn its creators who embody the only remaining occupation in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

It is self-evident that Israel fears for its position, as long as its government is headed by Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich and other racist legends who embrace the slogan "Death to the Arabs" as a political and ideological constant.
