Israel is stronger than the illusions that failed it
Dr. Esther Luzzatto argues in an opinion piece that Benjamin Netanyahu led Israel to unprecedented strategic achievements after October 7, and that the failure was a structural democratic one of unelected officials. She states that the upcoming elections are a historic decision on restoring sovereignty to the people's representatives.
Dr. Esther Luzzatto, a public activist and chairwoman of the 'Israel for the Negev' association, argues in an opinion piece that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu led Israel to unprecedented military and strategic achievements after the October 7, 2023 attack. According to her, Netanyahu managed a campaign on seven fronts, enlisted the Trump administration to fight Iranian nuclearization, and etched into the Middle East's consciousness the price of harming Israel. The article defines the failure on October 7 as a structural democratic failure, and claims that the state is run by a narrow layer of unelected officials who have harmed governance. The writer states that the upcoming elections are a historic decision between restoring sovereignty to the people's representatives and continuing bureaucratic control, and recalls Netanyahu's past reforms as Finance Minister as proof of his ability to carry out deep internal reform.
