Pinhas Inbari argues in an opinion piece that the outgoing government led by Benjamin Netanyahu is closer to the Muslim Brotherhood than the Arab parties. He criticizes Netanyahu's "Muslim Brotherhood" campaign, which he says is based on fear-mongering and consciousness engineering, and compares the Arab parties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Inbari notes that Mansour Abbas's Ra'am party is not part of the Muslim Brotherhood, and that in December 2025 Abbas announced his party's disconnection from the Shura Council of the Southern Islamic Movement. According to him, Qatar and Turkey are the powers supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, and Israel's connection with Qatar – through the QatarGate affair – is dangerous. Inbari claims that Israel rejected the Egyptian plan for Gaza, which had Saudi and Arab backing, thereby clearing the way for Qatar and Turkey. He warns that Israel's policy in Gaza could jeopardize the natural gas alliance with Egypt, the UAE, Cyprus, and Greece. The article mentions Tony Blair's visit to Israel to promote the Trump plan for Gaza, and the US demand for a government that will participate in the reconstruction of the Strip. Inbari calls for breaking free from Netanyahu's spin and returning to strategic thinking.
