The deadly bullet was launched towards Israel policy

There is no talk in the Israeli press internationally except for fears of isolation due to the exposure of the brutal approach in the war launched by Israel for more than 19 months.

In their view, it is not only related to Europe, on its importance, but also the oppression of the American party from European movements and threats. The American protective shield of Israel in international forums is currently declining in Europe, and it can also decline in the United Nations.

There are those who look at European moves as studied, pre -coordinated with the American administration; For the purpose of praising Israel and preventing it from achieving the goals of its declared war. There are those who see in the expansion of Netanyahu recently the goals of the war, and adding the implementation of Trump’s plan to displace the Palestinians as an explosive factor that adds to the escalation of the crisis.

European movements are not talking about regular political expressions, but rather by using “tsunami” concepts, hurricanes and the like. The current scene is unprecedented from an Israeli point of view, and it touches the essence of the relationship that binds Israel to the West and affects the legitimacy of its actions.

Although some Israelis are still refusing to see what is going on, and focus on chanting the accusations of Somival, the majority of Israelis see the transformations of European public opinion. And you see that governments were having strongly standing by Israel, to move to another position.

And nearly 19 months after the war, the Netherlands, which has always been alongside Israel, declares a red line against its continued aggression, and demands a review of partnership agreements with Israel. Also, the leaders of France, Britain, and Canada raised the slogan; “Enough”, and announced their intention to examine the imposition of sanctions on Israel if its war did not stop.

In the eyes of Israel, the most dangerous thing they said was the importance of the peace conference to be held next month; Because: “It provides the best hope for ending the suffering of the families of the kidnapped, alleviating the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza, ending Hamas rule, and creating a path towards a two -state solution.” “We all have to work to implement the two -state solution, and it is the only way to achieve the permanent peace and security that the Israelis and Palestinians need, and to ensure long -term stability in the region.”

The Prime Minister of Spain announced the necessity of confronting the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. The French president confirmed that his country and other countries will recognize The Palestinian state at the international conference to be held soon.

25 Western countries have announced their deep concern about the situation in the Palestinians in Gaza. In practice, Britain announced the freezing of the Free Trade Convention negotiations with Israel and the imposition of sanctions on settler leaders.

Sweden also announced its intention to impose sanctions on Israeli ministers, especially those who starve and displacement.

In light of the status quo at the invitation of the Dutch Foreign Minister, a meeting of the European Union’s foreign ministers was held to discuss the cancellation of the partnership agreement. 17 of the 27 countries of the Union decided to ratify the reconsideration of the agreement, because the total cancellation requires consensus, while parts of the agreement can be canceled by a majority.

The Israelis realize that what played a central role in changing the positions of European governments is the extreme statements and positions of Israeli leaders on “genocide, displacement and starvation“In addition to targeting killing and destruction of civilians.

These statements and actions removed the brakes that were hindered in the past initiatives to restrict Israel in the European Union. Also, the popular pressures for more than a year and a half, and demanding something in favor of the Palestinians, destroyed the remains of European support that were still standing for the Netanyahu government.

Germany, the older friend of Israel, is now trying to exercise its influence to adopt a unified position in Brussels towards Israel, demanding the opening of the crossings, stopping the war as well, and condemning the military operation.

The German Foreign Minister said: The ground operation is “great concern” in Germany. The Italian Foreign Minister also sent a more severe message when he said: “We have to tell the Israeli government that the blood has been overwhelmed.” “We do not want to continue to see the inhabitants of Gaza suffer.” He stressed that the Italian government was one of the largest supporters of Israel, but it is time to stop it.

According to the polls, according to the newspaper “Globes”, 42% of the Germans believe that Israel is doing with the Palestinians what the Nazis did by Jews (a poll conducted by the Berlsmanman Foundation).

Also, 50% of the Spaniards are demanding Madrid to “make more efforts to curb Israel.” And 56% of the Swedes view Israel negatively. And 60% of the Italians believe that the Israeli attack on Gaza is “unjustified” (data according to Ugov polls). In any case, governments have so far succeeded in protecting Israel from the hostile public. Now this protection has disappeared.

Israel is a “pariah state”

As ancestor, they do not see in Israel that new European criticism, harsh language, threats and demands are not only because of local public opinion, but is the fruit of implicit support from Washington.

Europeans see that the current administration in Washington also criticizes the current policies, and from this standpoint, they are trying to exploit their strength. Despite the sharp reactions on the part of Netanyahu and his foreign minister, Gideon Saar, on European positions and statements, they take the European seriously seriously, especially when the relationship is a bit tense with Washington.

The economic consequences of European positions are dire on Israel for a simple reason that is the fact that Europe is the largest trade partner of Israel, which amounts to 50 billion euros.

According to Dr. Maya Sayyun Sadaqaoho, from a competent institute at the Hebrew University, “the bullet was launched from the crater of the gun”, “We do not know where it will reach. This step is more deteriorating the position of Israel as a pariah country, losing a number of friends in Europe. This torrent has occurred quickly in recent weeks, and the decision can encourage political tsunami.”

According to the provisions of the agreements, there is always a clause related to respect for human rights, and in this context most European parties view that the record of Israel immediately leads to considering it: “a rebellious state.”

According to one of the Israeli newspapers: What should a European company should think when it is considering opening a factory in Israel, or cooperating with an Israeli company, in light of its fear of the complete collapse of relations?

Reconsidering the partnership

European Union Foreign Minister Kaya Calas said: that in light of the continuity and intensification of the war in the Gaza Strip, and the exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis in the Strip, the Union will study the possibility of canceling the partnership agreements (the partnership agreement) signed by Israel and the European Union in 1995, which are frameworks that regulate relations between the two parties.

According to the Israeli media, the “reconsideration” is not exposed to the danger only the most important trade agreements of the State of Israel, which amounts to about 50 billion euros annually, but rather a question mark on all other agreements between Israel and European countries.

Among the most important of these agreements is the leading “Horizen” program for cooperation, which provides huge sums in the fields of science, research, development and technology, between Israel and the European Union countries, which supported at least two -thirds of which is already the announcement.

The heads of Israeli universities expressed their deep concern about the repercussions of such a step, warning that it may be unprecedented in relation to the position of Israel as a scientific power, and its ability to lead the world to innovate in all areas of research.

University heads told Ma’ariv newspaper: “This is an unprecedented step that can seriously harm in cooperation with the leading research institutions in Europe, and lead to the exclusion of Israeli researchers from international research groups, and the research investments that total about 1.5 billion euros will stop, an amount that will have a significant impact on the future of science and innovation in Israel.”

The partnership agreement is also related to the open atmosphere agreement, and students exchange within the framework of the Erasmus program. Even if the partnership agreement is not canceled, the conclusion that results from the study of the second article related to human rights will be: “Israel is a rebellious state.”

Tsunami

One of the most worries of Israel is the American silence towards European positions, which keeps it alone in the confrontation. Washington has not issued any condemnation statement in the wake of threats to impose sanctions from Britain, France, and Canada, and there are those who see that in the past he said that “Trump threw Israel under the bus”, finds what is going on in the international scene currently a practical embodiment of this statement.

What is more anxious is what will America do if the demands of ending the war reach the UN Security Council? Will you use the veto cassation in these circumstances in light of repeated reports that Trump “runs out of his patience” and “feels frustrated” from the Netanyahu government, and even threatened to abandon Israel according to many reports that have been denied?

In general, Yedioth quoted a source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying: “We face a real tsunami that will get worse. We are in the worst situation of it ever. This is much worse than being a disaster, the world is not with us.”

He continued: “Since November 2023, the world has seen his television screens except for Palestinian children dead and demolished homes, and it has been fed up. Israel does not make any solution, nor arrangements for the next day, and no hope.

Despite all the foregoing in Israel, there are those who are betting that Europe will be unable to impose its opinion and the intersection of Israel. They believe that what will happen is steps such as summoning the ambassadors for consultation, imposing additional sanctions against extremist settlers, and continuing the threat to suspend commercial agreements, which can be obstructed in the European Union with the help of its friends there, especially Hungary and the Czech Republic.

However, threats to impose sanctions and recognition of the Palestinian state will increase the atmosphere significantly. This will give the green light to deepen the “quiet boycott” against Israel: avoid economic relations by the private sector, abolish scientific, academic and technological cooperation, and to abandon cultural, tourism, research, development, sports and other projects.
