Netanyahu’s legacy​

At the same time, Netanyahu needs to consider the demands from the US. The Biden administration has made it very clear it wants Israel to work towards a deal that would end the war.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel on Tuesday, urging Netanyahu and his government to do more to cool the tensions.

But Netanyahu seems to have grown increasingly immune towards the pressures from the US – Blinken’s trip this week is his 11th visit to the Middle East in a year, yet like the previous trips, it seems to have achieved little.

Tensions between Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden are well documented, but they are likely to get a lot worse in the near future.

With the US election looking to be on a knife edge, Biden has to carefully calibrate his approach to Israel so as not to hurt Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances of winning. He needs to be seen as taking a tough stance on the horrific humanitarian situation in Gaza to stop Arab-Americans and progressives from ditching his party over the war Israel is waging there. Yet he must also continue to support Israel in order not to anger moderate and Jewish voters who expect the US to stand by the Jewish state no matter what.

“The American elections play a dramatic role in how Netanyahu perceives what’s going to happen,” Talshir told CNN. “He has a window of opportunity because there’s very little chance that Biden can restrain Netanyahu now. But after November 5, things are going to change,” she added.

She said that regardless of who wins, the Biden administration may exert a lot more pressure on Israel to end the war in the two months between the election and the inauguration of the new US president.

Biden has already hinted he might increase the pressure – warning Israel the US may stop supplying Israel with weapons unless the humanitarian situation in Gaza improves.

Please post the link to that article? What this says reflects some of what I have been saying here [and to my Pakistani WhatsApp friends channel] for several weeks to contrast Harris vs Trump. But all my pleas to vote tactically for 2024 have fallen on deaf ears with the possible exception of a few like @EugeneP and @hussain0216.

I'd consider it a historic folly by the Pro Palestinian voters to not use their pro Harris conditional vote as a block in the SWING STATES. Jill Stein is 74! 74! Her movement would fizzle out unless a demonstratable case is made that she will, through proxy, influence a change the next time through the Pro Palestinian voters if the Democrats don't mend their ways. Why waste on Trump? His 'base' would't even mind a nuke on the Palestinians and on the region.

Told Lankford what I think of him several times in emails. No threats. Calling him a traitor to what America once stood for is one. Another telling him he is a sorry excuse for a minister (he is also a Baptist minister).

Really zero chance of Oklahoma changing - most Okies are retarded, easily lead by the nose if you convince them evil by ZOG is just God's plan for the world.

The current situation in northern Gaza shows why. The Israeli military has already withdrawn from the area twice after saying, both times, that it had crushed Hamas there. Yet earlier this month, the IDF went in again after seeing what it said were signs of Hamas re-emerging in the area.

Northern Gaza is now once again one of the epicenters of the war, with the IDF bringing immense amount of suffering on people who had returned to what was left of their homes after the last Israeli withdrawal.

Similarly, weeks into Israel’s operation in Lebanon, Hezbollah continues to strike. A drone fired over the weekend slipped through Israeli air defenses and struck Netanyahu’s beach house some 50 miles from the Lebanese border. On Monday, a drone fired launched Lebanon managed to get through Israeli’s air defences and strike Netanyahu’s beach house in the coastal city of Caesarea, some 50 miles from the border of Lebanon.

Netanyahu’s reluctance to strike a ceasefire deal, even now after securing several military victories, has angered many in Israel. Weekly mass protests against him and his government are back on, demanding an agreement with Hamas that would secure the release of the 101 hostages still held in Gaza.

Aviv Bushinsky, a former Netanyahu adviser and spokesperson who is now a political analyst, said the fate of the hostages – dozens of whom are still believed to be alive – is crucial for Netanyahu’s future legacy.

“If Netanyahu is not able to release any more hostages, either by military means or by diplomatic means, (people) are going to say he failed, and they will always remember what they call ‘The Netanyahu proposal’ in July where they said Netanyahu, at the last minute, added (a) few more conditions to a ceasefire agreement that effectively terminated the deal,” he said.

Bushinsky told CNN that if the war ends without any more hostages or bodies being released or rescued, it is possible some people could eventually start questioning the decision to kill Sinwar – something that was almost universally welcomed across Israel last week.

“And this is my greatest fear, that people will say, ‘oh, you see, we made a mistake by eliminating the single individual you could negotiate with … who knows what would have happened, but at least you had some kind of door to knock on’,” he added.

Why would anybody make a deal with Israel?
Who is going to guarantee that Israel abides by the agreement?
Even the US cannot provide such a guarantee.

Offtopic: Many years ago, I visited my uncle and aunt in Tulsa and stayed with them for two days. They were from Karachi, like me, but had settled in in Tulsa. They took me to the Oral Roberts University campus. Yes, it was beautiful. But they said that region is very cold and very hot. Yuck!

I think we all know why: Because America is addicted to wars and really doesn't care who gets killed. Some here are saying that brown/Muslims are the target. But far many more 'Asians' were killed in the Vietnam War and far many more White people have been killed in the Russia-Ukraine war. By now, even a blind person can see that: America is never about 'freedom and democracy'. Many towns in America--from small towns to larger cities-- depend on the war machine. What a Goddamn sick way to sustain a country!!
