SAEDNEWS: The policies of the occupying regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have led to Israel’s defeat across diplomatic, military, and strategic fronts, an Israeli newspaper has said.
In an article published by Haaretz, as reported by Press TV, Israeli journalist Nehemia Shtrasler stated, “Netanyahu has brought Israel strategic loss on all diplomatic and military fronts.”
Shtrasler noted that Israel’s former status as Washington’s “favorite son” has now shifted to Saudi Arabia, and the country’s global standing is at an unprecedented low.
Highlighting Netanyahu’s most significant failure, Shtrasler pointed to the Iranian front, where Tehran’s military and political influence has never been stronger.
Immediately after the 12-day war, Netanyahu claimed Israel had eliminated two existential threats: the nuclear threat and the danger posed by 20,000 ballistic missiles.
“Israel did not remove anything. Iran did not surrender. It is unwilling to accept any supervision of its nuclear program and is producing new ballistic missiles at a rapid pace. Tehran recently declared that it would launch 2,000 missiles per day in the next conflict with Israel,” he added.
Netanyahu’s second major failure, Shtrasler said, occurred during the Gaza genocide, which, since October 7, 2023, has killed at least 71,000 and wounded 172,000, the majority of whom are women and children.
Despite the regime expending enormous military and political resources to defeat the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, it failed. Hamas continues to control Gaza, maintains 20,000 fighters ready to confront Israel, and remains deeply popular among Palestinians.
Hezbollah, too, has not surrendered and refuses to relinquish its arsenal. “It is rebuilding its infrastructure, recruiting fighters, building a command structure, and collecting arms,” Shtrasler added.
From both diplomatic and military perspectives, Israel is in a dire situation. Netanyahu has failed to neutralize any of the regime’s adversaries, all of whom remain formidable, he said.
“Total victory? The vilest man in the history of the Jewish people brought about a strategic defeat for Israel,” Shtrasler concluded, according to Press TV.
