In this video, we'll discuss the biggest fear for Israel in light of Palestinian resistance. Explore the six biggest fears for Israel in this eyeopening video that delves into the complex issues surrounding IsraeliPalestinian relations and its impact on the region.
1st: Loss of Escalation Dominance:
Historically, Israel has maintained superiority in any conflict escalation. However, recent conflicts, such as those in Gaza and with Hezbollah, have challenged this dominance. Prolonged engagements and the ability of groups like Hamas and Hezbollah to sustain their operations suggest that Israel's strategy is losing its edge. Explore how Israel lost its escalation dominance in three incidents namely the Jenin Invasion of 2002; Israel's conflict with Hezbollah in 2006 and its present conflict in Gaza.
2nd: Increasing International Isolation:
Israel's actions in Gaza have led to global condemnation and accusations of genocide. The United Nations and various international bodies have increasingly isolated Israel, heightening its reliance on U.S. support and making its global position more tenuous.
3rd: Loss of Arab Support:
The ongoing conflict is straining Israel's relationships with Arab and Muslimmajority states. Countries like Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan face domestic pressure to distance themselves from Israel, and the Abraham Accords are under scrutiny as public opinion strongly favors the Palestinian cause.
4th Escalation of Threat from Iran:
Iran's support for militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah intensifies the threat against Israel from multiple fronts. This reflects Iran's increasing influence and strategic threat, as it provides advanced weapons and funding to these groups, challenging Israel's security.
5th: Growing Support for Palestinian Statehood:
International support for a Palestinian state is at an unprecedented level. The suffering of Palestinians and the perception that Israel is not committed to a twostate solution have shifted global opinion. Although the UN Security Council narrowly missed recognising Palestinian statehood, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution granting Palestine a full Obsever status.
6th: Political Instability within Israel:
Israel faces significant internal political instability, with deep societal divisions and frequent elections since 2019. This discord makes it difficult for Israel to respond effectively to external threats and undermines its strategic decisionmaking.
All these factors contribute to a significant shift in the dynamics of the region. The evolving situation suggests that changes are on the horizon for IsraelPalestine relations. The possibility of an independent Palestinian state and a twstate solution emerging sooner rather than later is becoming more plausible. This shift in perception and support is shaking the very foundation of Israel's dominance in the region.
