Israeli writer and political analyst Yossi Hadar launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, blaming him with the responsibility of what he described as the collapse of the Israeli economy and society, and the destruction of vital relations with the United States, saying that “the personal interest and the survival of power are the only two goals that direct the behavior of Netanyahu.”
Under the title “Instead of wearing American aid, it is better to destroy ourselves from Netanyahu”, he called Hadar in an article published by the Israeli opposition newspaper “Maariv” to move to bring down Netanyahu, and he said that what distinguishes Netanyahu is his lack of leadership and national responsibility, indicating that “crushing all the remaining foundations for the State of Israel, and he is now about to crush its relations with the nearest ally Strategic – United States. “
Ignore the most important alliance
According to Hadar, Netanyahu has acted in recent years with “satirical, shameful and misleading behavior”, and instead of working to enhance Israel’s position in the region and the world, he “turned his back on historical allies for his narrow political interests”, which caused Israel to remove the circle of regional and international influence, “according to his description.
The writer believes that what happened during the era of Netanyahu is not just a political failure, but rather a “strategic catastrophe”, even during the era of US President Donald Trump – which is one of the most supportive presidents for Israel – Netanyahu did not hesitate to provoke and distort his reputation, which made the American administration, according to Hadar, is heading to “shocking” steps, most notably understanding with the Houthis without involving Israel, and talking about defending American interests Only, even if Israel is targeted.
He also pointed to the continuation of negotiations with Iran despite Tel Aviv’s objections, qualitative weapons deals with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and the lifting of sanctions on Syria, which are steps – according to the writer – reflecting the decline in Israel’s position in Washington’s accounts, as a result of Netanyahu’s “political recklessness”.
Survival price
Hadar cited what the late Prime Minister Isaac Shamir said about Netanyahu, when he described him as “the angel of sabotage,” adding that Netanyahu “does not put the interest of Israel, its security, or even its land over his personal interest”, but rather continues to drag the country into a war without success in the hope of staying in his position, refusing to complete any deal to return the hostages or end the war, in exchange for political gains.
He also criticized Netanyahu’s attempts to pass what he called the “Dodging Law” (the law discussed by the Israeli Knesset, which will enable Haridim to continue to evade service in the army if it was approved), and to download the reserve soldiers additional burdens in light of the army’s exhaustion, saying that all of this “is in his project to remain political, even at the expense of the collapse of the state.”
The writer confirms that the judicial coup led by the Netanyahu government with the help of its ministers led to the “greatest division in the history of Israel”, and it was a direct reason for the “national catastrophe” on October 7, 2023, when Israel failed to thwart an unprecedented attack from Gaza.
With the passage of more than a year and 7 months since the beginning of this “collapse”, as he calls it, Netanyahu did not bear any responsibility, but rather prevents the formation of an official investigation committee to hold those responsible accountable, which reflects his “lack of any feeling of national responsibility”, according to Hadar.
Move to drop Netanyahu
In a stinging criticism of the opposition, Hadar said it was “weaker than the change”, despite the seriousness of the stage. Instead of immediate demand to bring down the government, the results of the upcoming elections are awaiting, which he described as a “strategic mistake”.
The writer concluded, “It is necessary to move to drop Netanyahu as quickly as possible because it has proven that he does not deserve the high position.”
He pointed out that hope – according to opinion polls – may come from the “liberal right” camp, specifically from personalities such as former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and the head of the Israel Party, Avigdor Lieberman, calling on them not to remain silent, because “the time is working against Israel as long as Netanyahu remains in power.”
