Israeli historian Yuval Harari fiercely criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies, saying they are pushing Israel to the brink of destruction. Harari said in an article in the Israeli daily Haaretz on the 18th (local time), “So far, they have not regretted their past mistakes and have shown no intention to change direction,” adding, “If they continue to make policies, we and the Middle East will be at risk.” “It will lead the whole world to destruction,” he said.
“Instead of rushing into a new war with Iran, we should learn from Israel’s failures during the past six months of war in Gaza,” he said. “War is a military means to achieve political goals, and Israel needs to deepen its alliances with Western democracies, strengthen cooperation with moderate Arab powers, and work to establish a stable regional order,” Harari said. “The Netanyahu government ignored all of these goals and instead focused on revenge,” he pointed out.
“If we do not change our behavior toward Palestine, our arrogance and vengeance will lead to a historic disaster for us,” he said. “If an all-out war with Iran and its puppets breaks out, the most optimistic scenario for Israel is to become North Korea in the Middle East.” “It is,” he said.
“The Netanyahu government failed to use its victories on the battlefield to reach an agreement on the release of all hostages and advance an alternative political order in Gaza,” he said. “The failure of the Netanyahu government during the war is not an accident. It is not an accident. “It is the bitter fruit of years of disastrous policies,” he said.
Harari cited Japan as an example, saying that historically, there have been cases where the entire population is trapped in an echo chamber and loses contact with reality, and this is especially likely to happen during war. “It is very important to establish a new government that will begin to rebuild our international standing,” Harari said. “If we do not change our policy toward Palestine, we will have to face Iran alone and our end will be a helpless one.” “It will be like the end of Samson, who in his anger brought down the house on everyone’s head,” he warned.
