Israel's Middle East Strategy: Why Netanyahu Must Start with Internal Changes.

Israel is trying to create a new regional order in the Middle East

Israel seeks to change the balance of power in the Middle East but does not find broad support. Even Arab countries express skepticism. Longtime supporters of Israel feel discomfort due to the demonstration of force, and families of hostages remain in despair. The key factor that Israel can control is the lack of a clear strategy.

Israel dreams of a Middle East where religious fundamentalism will be overcome. For this, concrete steps and a strategy regarding the Palestinian issue are needed.

Saudi Arabia has emphasized that partnership with Israel is possible only on the condition of creating an independent Palestinian state.

Israel also needs to transform from within, abandoning religious and nationalist fanatics. Netanyahu must offer hope, not just demonstrate force, starting with a plan for Palestinians.

The time has come to fill the strategic vacuum in Israel's policy to ensure peaceful coexistence of all peoples in the region.
