Netanyahu and Eisenkot: What Changes for the Palestinians?
In an opinion article, the author analyzes the results of the Israeli elections and their implications for the Palestinians, considering that the competition between Netanyahu and Eisenkot takes place within the Zionist project between the right and the more extreme right, and that any expectations of a fundamental change in policy towards the Palestinians are an illusion.
In an opinion article published on the Arab 48 website, the author analyzes the results of the recent Israeli elections and their implications for the Palestinians. The article points out that the election results did not decisively favor either camp, with Netanyahu's camp winning only 53 seats, 15 fewer than the current government relied on, while Eisenkot's camp won 48 seats. The author believes that treating the Israeli elections as a reference, or believing that one of the camps will provide the required solution for the Palestinians, is a pure illusion, because the competition takes place within the Zionist project between the right and the more extreme right. The article discusses possible scenarios for forming the government, including a unity government, early elections, a minority government supported by the Arab lists, or a government headed by Netanyahu if he succeeds in attracting members from Eisenkot's camp. The article concludes by noting that Eisenkot is at a crossroads: either he becomes prime minister, topples Netanyahu, and moves away from racism, or he loses in the next elections.
