Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's long-standing ambition for a US war with Iran has turned into a nightmare for Israel.
His strategy, rooted in force, has led to regional turmoil and isolation.
NETANYAHU'S STRATEGY
For nearly 40 years, Netanyahu has pursued a vision of dismantling Middle Eastern "terror states."
His 1986 book, "Terrorism: How the West Can Win," outlines his belief in military force as the solution.
He once claimed, "The application of power is the most important thing in winning the war on terrorism."
REGIONAL CONSEQUENCES
Netanyahu's approach has led to invasions and instability across the Middle East.
Despite initial gains, the strategy has backfired, with Israel now facing increased isolation.
The 2020 normalization accords with Arab states have not shielded Israel from the fallout of its aggressive policies.
CURRENT CRISIS
The recent assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has escalated tensions.
Iran's missile response underscores the precariousness of Netanyahu's position.
Despite his reliance on US support, Israel's military power is proving insufficient to secure decisive victories.
CONCLUSION
Netanyahu's gamble on a full-scale Middle East war is fraught with risk.
As regional dynamics shift, Israel's isolation becomes more apparent.
The dream of a new Middle East has become a nightmare, with Netanyahu's strategies unraveling amidst growing challenges.
