This is Israel's opportunity to disengage from the United States | Ran Adelist
Ran Adelist claims that Netanyahu, bin Salman, and Trump are planning a conspiracy: bombing the Houthis in exchange for Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords, while the price—a Houthi and Iranian missile attack—will fall on Israeli citizens. Adelist calls for disengagement from the US, Iran, and Saudi Arabia and focusing on healing social rifts in Israel, but asserts that Netanyahu is pushing for military involvement in Iran to save himself and his coalition.
Ran Adelist claims that a conspiracy is emerging between three dictators: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and US President Donald Trump. According to him, bin Salman is losing Yemen to the Houthis and seeking a lifeline, Netanyahu needs a winning card in the elections and has a compliant air force, and Trump is looking for a forceful salvation before he collapses in the midterm elections. Adelist speculates that Netanyahu may bomb the Houthis in exchange for Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords, while the price—a Houthi and possibly Iranian missile attack—will be paid by Israeli citizens. He reviews the historical background since January 2021, including Biden's victory, the renewal of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran in April 2023, the normalization attempts of the Biden administration, Netanyahu's UN speech in September 2023, the October 7 massacre, and Trump's return to the White House in January. Adelist quotes US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee who said that "America never protected Israel," and notes that the US has flowed large amounts of weapons to Saudi Arabia, including approval for the sale of 48 F35 aircraft and a civilian nuclear program. He calls for disengagement from the US, Iran, and Saudi Arabia and focusing on healing social rifts, but asserts that Netanyahu is pushing for military involvement in Iran to save himself and his coalition. Adelist notes a Maariv poll according to which 54% of the public supports military aid to Saudi Arabia in exchange for normalization, and wonders how the public supports a move that will transfer living people to cemeteries.
