US presidents have a long history of giving way to the Prime Minister of Israel, but it is Donald Trump who dances the most as Benjamin Netanyahu will play. The head of the Israeli government certainly assumed that if Iran attacks, Trump would finish this campaign for him – says the American magazine “The New Republic”.
Israel's ability to exert pressure on Washington grew along with the acquisition of influence in the Republican Party by Christian Zionist, the most favorable to the Jewish state of the Movement among evangelical Protestants – reminds the magazine.
But Trump's submission to “Bibie” Netanyahu is an unprecedented matter. The US President, who repeated many times that he does not want Israel to attack Iran, because he cares about the conclusion of a “deal” with Tehran, he suddenly changed his mind and seems to be ready for moves that can change Israeli surgery against Iran into an American war – says “TNR”.
On the other hand, Netanyahu is a special case among Israel's leaders, because it is particularly arrogant towards American presidents. The anecdote about President Bill Clinton, who after hearing numerous allegations of “Bibie”, became known, that the US is extremely naive in the assessment of Arabs and the Middle East, he said rage in the gun: “For whom, hell, he thinks? Who's hell here is a superpower?” – resembles a magazine.
In 2001, “Bibi” was secretly recorded with settlers from the west shore, during which the prime minister said: “I know if there is America. America is such a thing that is easy to move, move to the right direction (…). They will not disturb us.”
Netanyahu, the longest incumbent prime minister in the history of Israel, despite formal allegations of corruption, proceedings against him, evidence of incompetence and will to be asked to the ruling coalition of the most extremist groups, as long as he preserve power, has always manifested a particularly insolent attitude towards the US – emphasizes “TNR”.
He tried at all costs, in an alliance with the Republicans in Congress, block the initiative of President Barack Obama regarding the signing of the nuclear agreement with Iran, which imposed restrictions on Tehran's nuclear initiatives in exchange for the withdrawal of Western sanctions. Where Bibi failed to torpedo Obama's policy, where he managed Trump – remind the authors of the text.
In 2018, Trump withdrew the US from a nuclear agreement signed by Iran and world powers. He moved the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, recognized Israel's superiority over the Golan hills and changed the position of the State Department, which traditionally recognized the Jewish settlement in the west shore as illegal.
Now Trump's administration emphasizes that he is not going to engage in a larger military operation in Iran, but a conflict played thousands of kilometers from America with a state where members of the president's office do not know at all, it may definitely get out of control – warns the magazine.
What's more, Bibi became famous for its strategically fatal decisions; The fact that for years he allowed Hamas to grow in strength and be co -financed from abroad in order to prevent the increase in the importance of Palestinian autonomy and the creation of the Palestinian state, led to an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 – emphasizes “TNR”. The torpedoing of the nuclear agreement with Iran allowed the regime to develop a nuclear weapon program.
The fact that such a leader wants to influence US foreign policy is probably the most annoying – concludes “The New Republic”. (PAP)
