The Media Line Staff04/09/2024Maariv, Israel, April 6The Axis of Evil is gaining power from the new wave of foreign criticism towards Israel. Stress has grown on Israel from both the American administration and the international community in the midst of the horrible event involving the killing of seven aid workers from Global Central Kitchen. This occurrence has the potential to be a crucial time that could alter the course of history. Calling for Israel to change its behavior, particularly regarding humanitarian assistance and procedures on the ground, have been strident. Important members of the Biden Administration have warned that a change in the government’s approach may result from a failing on Israel’s component to change its policies. Additionally, international organizations have called for a review of security relations with Israel and a cease-fire. Israel’s growing criticism and diminishing validity, in particular in its ongoing problems with Hamas and Hizbullah, are becoming increasingly clear. As recently as Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hizbullah, hassan Nasrallah, hassan Nasrallah, has said, the escalating conflict between Israel and the United States seems to be enticing components within the Axis. Nasrallah’s notes focused on the destruction to Israel’s foreign status and the strained marriage between Biden and]Israeli Prime Minister ] Netanyahu. As American concerns about local instability grow, Nasrallah may come to the conclusion that Israel will drop legitimacy if it continues to fight Hamas. The Hamas leader, [Yahyah ] Sinwar, may be encouraged by the increased humanitarian aid to Gaza and the difficulties the American administration is facing with its operations in Rafah because of what is happening. In order to negotiate a new hostage release in exchange for a cease-fire, Sinwar may adopt a more uncompromising stance, betting that pressure will eventually be put on Netanyahu to make concessions. The deterioration of Jewish punishment appears to be having an impact on the steps of pro-Iran militias in the Middle East. Since January’s pause in attacks on American outposts, it seems as though these organizations are now pursuing Jewish hobbies and have their interests changed. Prime Minister Netanyahu needs to concentrate on restoring ties with the American management, which is a necessary step in regaining international authority and preventing steps that might impede IDF activities. Netanyahu must quickly adopt a plan for a complete submission of humanitarian aid and strategize for the post-conflict phase to change from the latest unpleasant trajectory. These steps are important because they give Israel the freedom it needs to pursue its goals in Hamas-related wars and to provide displaced people with security. Additionally, it is necessary to form a regional and international alliance to combat Iran’s growing menace, especially as it gets closer to achieving nuclear weapons. In facing these difficulties, Netanyahu is at a crucial moment where tactical decisions will form Israel’s potential. To strengthen relationships with key lovers and protect our nation’s interests, it is now necessary to choose between strength and vulnerability. —Dr. Shay Har- Zvi ( translated by Asaf Zilberfarb )
