Netanyahu's Last Strategy

The article discusses Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, the first in many years during which Israel arrives at the White House bearing a list of objections rather than demands. The focus is on Israel's concerns about losing its ability to influence U.S. priorities in the Middle East, particularly regarding Iran, which Israel regards as a central factor for regional security and stability. Israel aims to prevent any shifting or weakening of U.S. policy on Iran despite American pressures, such as selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey or expanding Saudi nuclear ambitions. The article also highlights that through this visit, Israel is seeking to maintain its influence and regain control over U.S. plans and actions in the region. It notes that the shift in Washington’s stance reflects a decline in Israeli certainty about the alliance, with costs and interests now serving as the main criteria for evaluating relationships, rather than historical commitments. Statements by U.S. President Trump indicate that decisions on issues like arms sales are now made solely by Washington, signifying a change in the philosophy of alliances. Ultimately, the article clarifies that Netanyahu’s goal is to prevent the disintegration of red lines that have underpinned Israel’s security for decades, and to reaffirm Israel’s position within American political perception. Losing this standing could reshape regional power balances and strategies.
