The joke circulating in the Arab world following Avi Gil's 'exposure'

Arab affairs commentator Yoni Ben Menachem reported that the Arab world is closely following the Netanyahu trial and political developments in Israel, while mocking the proliferation of conspiracies in the Israeli media. Ben Menachem warned of coordinated Iranian preparations against Israel, the US, and Saudi Arabia, and noted that Mahmoud Abbas postponed Palestinian elections for fear of losing.

Arab affairs commentator Yoni Ben Menachem said in an interview with the program 'Israel This Morning' that the Arab world is closely following the Netanyahu trial and political developments in Israel. According to him, a senior Arab commentator mocked the abundance of conspiracies in the Israeli media, joking that 'finally Israel is integrating into the Middle Eastern reality.' To illustrate the absurdity, the same commentator said he was surprised that it wasn't reported that UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed called military secretary Avi Gil to warn Netanyahu. Ben Menachem noted that these words were said in complete mockery, but they indicate Israel's central place in Arab headlines. Later, Ben Menachem addressed the Palestinian arena, claiming that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas postponed the legislative council elections for fear of losing, after internal polls indicated a coalition of Hamas, Mohammed Dahlan, and Marwan Barghouti would lead to a defeat for Fatah. Ben Menachem warned of coordinated Iranian preparations: Hamas is preparing for a move in coordination with Iran, which pressures the US through the Houthis and Israel through Hamas and the militias in Iraq. According to him, Tehran sees the election period in the US and Israel as an opportunity to exert pressure and drag Trump into a military trap.
