In the Arab world they claim: Trump put the winning card on Netanyahu - this could cost him

A Lebanese column argues that Trump's support for Netanyahu could become a political burden, drawing a comparison to elections in Hungary. The analysis warns that linking the continuation of the confrontation with Iran to Netanyahu's rule is a "double-edged sword" that could harm both.

A column published on the Lebanese website "Al-Nashra" argues that US President Donald Trump's support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could turn from a political asset into a liability. According to the analysis, external support does not guarantee electoral victory, as seen in the precedent of elections in Hungary. The writer notes that Netanyahu faces legal cases in Israel, is wanted by the International Criminal Court, and bears responsibility for the decline in international public support for Israel. It is further claimed that Trump's linking of the continuation of the confrontation with Iran to Netanyahu's continued rule is a "double-edged sword," as it gives his opponents an opportunity to question this course of action. The column concludes that alliances provide additional power but do not absolve internal responsibility, and overuse of American support could turn it into a burden.
