Israeli Media Reports Netanyahu’s Political System Exploits Crises for Survival

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the Hebrew-language newspaper Haaretz has reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has risked and lost everything. The newspaper asserted that Israel will bear the cost of Netanyahu’s failures in the war against Iran and his reliance on Donald Trump and his administration. Despite these setbacks, a media and political system continues to support him.

Haaretz stated that this propaganda system is not limited to defending Netanyahu but actively works to deflect responsibility from him and blame other parties, thereby preventing public accountability for his decisions and policies. The newspaper believes that Netanyahu has managed to preserve his political base even after events it described as a catastrophic failure. This is attributed to his creation of an integrated propaganda system that reinterprets crises and failures as the result of conspiracies or external pressures, rather than direct consequences of Netanyahu’s policies.

The publication emphasized that this system, comprised of his supportive television and radio channels and social media networks, plays a fundamental role in his political survival. This approach was evident in the handling of the U.S.-Iran agreement, where Donald Trump, his advisors, and other figures were blamed, while Netanyahu’s image as a leader capable of managing relations with Washington was preserved.

According to Haaretz, the contradictions within Netanyahu’s and his supporters’ political and media discourse are part of an integrated operational mechanism that allows for the presentation of multiple narratives simultaneously. This pattern has enabled Netanyahu to retain his base even after the October 7th attack and the ongoing series of crises.
