Now, as the two self-proclaimed \u201cleaders\u201d of the ideological right defect from the nationalist camp and form a leftist government supported by pro-Hamas Arab parties, the time has come to discuss the strategic and national consequences of their actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The place to begin the discussion is by noting that ministers that support the Biden administration\u2019s Middle East policies will hold an absolute majority in the leftist government Bennett and Shaked are now intent on forming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The Biden administration\u2019s commitment to returning the United States to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran leads only in one direction. Biden\u2019s Iran policy guarantees that Iran will achieve its goals of regional hegemony and membership in the nuclear club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The 2015 deal facilitates Iran\u2019s return to the global market and provides billions of dollars in cash payments to the regime in the form of sanctions relief and reparations. With these funds and lines of credit, the regime in Tehran will deepen its control over Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. Iran will expand its war against Saudi Arabia while compelling the Gulf States and Jordan to bend to its will. The Khomeinist regime will then turn its sights on Egypt and work to oust the Sisi government and replace it with the Muslim Brotherhood. As for Iran\u2019s program to develop a nuclear arsenal, the 2015 deal lifts all limitations on Iran\u2019s nuclear activities by 2030 and legitimizes Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program. In other words, Iran will develop a nuclear arsenal and will declare itself a nuclear power sometime between now and 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The administration\u2019s claim that it will negotiate a \u201clonger and stronger\u201d nuclear deal with Iran after it returns the United States to the 2015 deal that paves the way for Iran to become a nuclear-armed regional hegemon is completely unfounded. Iran will have no interest in negotiating anything further, so it won\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The leftist government that Bennett and Shaked are about to form will not be able to oppose Biden\u2019s policies because most of its cabinet ministers support those policies. And this spells the demise of the Abraham Accords. The rationale for those peace deals is Arab faith in Israel\u2019s willingness to confront Iran even in defiance of the United States. Once that is gone, the Abraham Accords will be dead in the water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The leftist government that Bennett and Shaked are now forming will guarantee that the Palestinian Authority will complete its seizure of Area C, endangering Israel\u2019s strategic interests and imperiling its communities in Judea and Samaria. Most of the members of the government object to any steps to secure Israel\u2019s rights and strategic interests in the areas. Not only are they themselves ideologically committed to undermining Israel\u2019s rights in Judea and Samaria. They will never dare to defy the Biden administration, which supports Palestinian land theft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Under the leftist government, Hamas will rebuild its military capabilities in a matter of months. With the economic and political support from the Biden administration, the European Union and the United Nations, Hamas will be able to import all the building materials and other dual-use products it requires, without limitations. Any chance that Israel will object to this state of affairs will dissipate with the formation of the government. Here too, a majority of the cabinet members support the U.S. plan to \u201crebuild Gaza\u201d for \u201chumanitarian\u201d reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">And if Hamas\u2014as can be expected\u2014renews its campaign against Israel, the government will not dare to fight back because it will be dependent on the support of the Muslim Brotherhood-aligned United Arab List to survive. The UAL will bring down the government if it even thinks about lifting a finger to protect Israel against Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Beyond the diplomatic and military catastrophe that the leftist government will foment, there\u2019s also the issue of Israeli democracy. A large majority of the ministers in the leftist government now being formed support eternalizing the legal fraternity\u2019s seizure of power over the Knesset and the government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The radical justices of the Supreme Court and attorneys in the Attorney General\u2019s office and state prosecution will exercise unchallenged authority over all aspects of public life. All chance of restoring the powers of Israel\u2019s elected leaders and returning sovereignty to the people will disappear the minute this government is sworn into office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">It doesn\u2019t matter what \u201cPrime Minister\u201d Bennett and his chorus of \u201cadvisers,\u201d say in defense of their betrayal of their voters, their political camp, and their word of honor. The facts are what they are. Bennett, Shaked and their lackeys are poised to form the weakest and most radical government Israel has ever known. You don\u2019t need to be a prophet to understand the consequences of their actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>This article first appeared in I<strong>srael Hayom.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 100%;\">\n<div id=\"content\" class=\"content-alignment\">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><em>Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion&#8217;68,<\/em><em><br \/>\nani te\u017c webmastera Blogu Reunion&#8217;68, chyba ze jest to wyra\u017anie zaznaczone.<br \/>\nTwoje uwagi, linki, w\u0142asne artyku\u0142y lub wiadomo\u015bci prze\u015blij na adres:<br \/>\n<\/em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><em><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE STRATEGIC CONSEQUENCES OF BENNETT\u2019S MEGALOMANIA Caroline Glick The government about to be formed will be the weakest and most radical in Israeli history \u2014 a diplomatic and military catastrophe that will threaten Israeli democracy. . .
