Ecology Action Centre calls for immediate implementation of Coastal Protection Act | SaltWire“If we look at it over the years, one of the main people contributing to Hamas’s strengthening has been ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu,” said Yuval Diskin, head of Israel’s Shin Bet security service between 2005 and 2011.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attends a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Jerusalem, October 24, 2023. - Christophe Ena/Pool via ReutersOne of the most useful concepts in politics is the idea that people who hate and despise each other can still be ‘objective allies’ if they share the same goal.
The ‘objective alliance’ between Netanyahu and Hamas began in 1996 after a hard-right Jew murdered Israel’s prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin, who had signed the Oslo Accords. The division of the Palestinians between two rival groups gives Netanyahu the permanent excuse of having “nobody to talk to” on the Arab side. The threat of a peaceful partition of the Holy Land between the Arabs and the Jews is permanently averted, to the satisfaction of both allies The trigger for the current upheaval was Israel’s growing links with Arab countries that used to support the Palestinian cause.
However, the original massacre was a blunder as well as a crime on Hamas’s part, and it places the whole ‘objective alliance’ in peril.Netanyahu will almost certainly lose power for letting that massacre of Israelis happen . And if the Palestinians can speak with a single voice, then the Israeli government no longer has an excuse for refusing to discuss a negotiated peace settlement with them.The prolonged delay in the launch of Netanyahu’s “mighty revenge” operation in the Gaza Strip may be due to his concern that a military success there could undermine his political strategy just as much as a military failure.
