New York Times: Israel is failing on several fronts

Thomas Friedman, the columnist of the American newspaper New York Times, emphasized in a report that “Israel” is failing on three fronts. He says that the existence of the occupying regime is losing the false narrative that it is engaged in a just war, and adds: “Israel has no plans to withdraw from Gaza, so it will end up drowning in a permanent occupation there, and these relations It is complicated with all its Arab allies and friends around the world. Friedman explains that “Israel” is also losing regionally against Iran and the Lebanese resistance in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, which are putting pressure on the northern, southern and eastern borders of occupied Palestine.

According to him, the only solution for “Israel” is the “two-state solution”, which he believes will strengthen the relations of the occupiers with their Arab allies.

However, he warns that if Israel fails to find a solution, “it will take decades of risky diplomacy to recognize the (claimed) right of the Jewish people to self-determination and self-defense in their (claimed) historic land.” .

The global position of America and Israel may fall

In a message to US President Joe Biden and Israelis, Friedman stressed that “I see a rapid and increasing erosion of Israel’s standing among friendly nations – a level of acceptance and legitimacy that has been hard-earned over decades” and He warned that “if Biden is not careful, America’s global standing will fall sharply along with Israel.”

He added: “I don’t think the Israelis or the Biden administration fully appreciate the outrage around the world that has been fueled by social media and television footage of the killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians, especially children, by the United States.” .

Friedman emphasizes that every day there are new calls to ban Israel from international academic, artistic and sports competitions or events. It is said that many of Israel’s allies are now praying for a cease-fire so as not to invite their own people and voters to support Israel amid the ongoing aggression against Gaza that has claimed thousands of lives.
