Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s reluctance to call for a ceasefire despite growing international pleas is raising questions about his motives. Facing corruption charges in Israel, Netanyahu appears to be using the ongoing conflict to divert attention and maintain political control. Many speculate that once the war ends, the International Criminal Court (ICC) may proceed with criminal charges against him, which could lead to his arrest. Netanyahu’s refusal to halt the violence, despite mounting civilian casualties, reflects his political desperation.
A War Against the Innocent
It’s important to note that Israel, under Netanyahu, is not fighting a conventional, organized army. Instead, it is engaged with small, poorly equipped groups. The disproportionate force used by Israel has led to countless innocent deaths, raising global concerns. The human cost of Netanyahu’s political maneuvers is becoming too high, as international leaders continue to call for an immediate ceasefire to protect civilians.
UN Secretary-General Targeted
UN Secretary-General António Guterres recently urged for an end to the war. Netanyahu’s government, however, reacted with unprecedented arrogance, reportedly instructing police to arrest Guterres should he visit Israel. This marks a significant breach of international diplomatic norms and highlights Netanyahu’s growing isolation. His arrogance and defiance of international law have not gone unnoticed by global leaders, many of whom view Netanyahu’s actions as dangerously reckless.
Dependent on U.S. Support
Netanyahu’s continued defiance also exposes Israel’s reliance on U.S. support. Many believe that without U.S. backing, Israel would collapse within a week. Netanyahu’s arrogance, therefore, appears misplaced, as he continues to rely on American power to shield his government from international consequences.
