New York:Former US President Donald Trump has attributed his electoral defeat to what he describes as "great resentment towards Israel" and "surprisingly intense hatred towards it" within the United States.
According to Maan News Agency, Trump's comments coincide with significant political changes in Israel, where Israeli President has tasked Gadi Eisenkot with forming a government to replace Benjamin Netanyahu. Eisenkot, upon his appointment, declared that Israel is in a state of emergency and emphasized that the country's war objectives have not been met, highlighting ongoing security and military challenges.
Netanyahu, in response to these developments, has called for the creation of a national unity government, issuing a stark warning that Israel faces an existential threat. However, Eisenkot has stipulated conditions for such a government, insisting on breaking alliances with extremist factions and adhering to his four principles, which include excluding hard-right parties from the coalition.
Additionally, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz has emphasized the ongoing mission with Iran, advocating for unity and preparation for all potential scenarios. In regional matters, Eisenkot is confronted with challenges in Syria and Lebanon as Israel aims to revise security arrangements and maintain its military presence in these areas.
Political analyst Barak David has criticized Netanyahu's call for a unity government, dismissing it as insincere and likening it to "Sara's Instagram photos," in reference to Netanyahu's wife, who is active on social media.
