Netanyahu's string of foreign policy disasters are extensive, Tsipis says, and include:
the “failed” war in Gaza, with Hamas left intact
“complete failure in Iran,” even as Netanyahu tries to deliberately sabotage peace talks between Washington and Tehran by targeting Lebanon
and now Lebanon itself, where Hezbollah is “inflicting colossal damage and losses…the likes of which Israel has never seen,” according to the analyst
Netanyahu’s sole ambition is to “cling to power,” by any means, amid the legal problems haunting him, Tsipis says. These include:
Netanyahu is “possessed,” Tsipis says. “He has nothing to lose and is ready in principle to drag the entire state of Israel down with him.”
“This permanent war, which has caused colossal damage to the economy, colossal damage to pricing policy within Israel, is driving a lot of people to leave. People are losing their homes, losing their jobs. This situation is leading to the collapse of the country,” the observer stressed.
