Netanyahu is considered more a tactician than a strategist. West Asia kabuki theatre is currently at its highest. Trump does his widely publized "deal-based" tour of SA, UAE and Quatar (with a shout out to Syrian head) - all deals appearing high stakes, but surrounded by fuzzy logic in detail. Western press cacophony leaves out the context - China is SA's largest trading partner; SA moving to BRICS membership; Bin Salman has made several high profile trips to Beijing. UAE also has high level trade, energy deals as well as Belt and Road Initiate projects. Same for Quatar. Irrespective of the cacophony of USUKEU presstitutes that Trump has restored their allegiance to US, the Gaza genocide has realigned their sotte voce allegiances to the global south. Kabuki is a well learned gambit in West Asia for obvious reasons. This does not make Israel any safer... Finally, USUKIS have expended exceptional and in some cases virtually irreplaceable resources on the tiny plot that is Gaza - treasure (trillions), armaments (shown by Ansarallah and Pakistan to be third rate) and blood (Israeli losses are far beyond those declared). Israel is overstreched, and ill prepared - as is the US - for any dustup with Iran, dedollarization, sanctions, et. al. But most important with the Trump and Witkoff hostage maneuver,both countries are shown to be consummate liars, untrustworthy and agreement incapable at any level. This reputational immolation jeopardizes the security of both the US and Israel more than loss of armed conflict and will echo across ten's of years as the Global South, Russia, China and Iran become even further integrataed.
I think I follow Gehenna but you sound more knowledgeable than me. Are you saying that the US/Israel alliance is conciliating the latent powers of the global South? Good.
