Netanyahu's Government and the Next

There have been many studies and analyses that warn of Netanyahu-Ben Gvir's right-wing extreme government that announces its extreme policy and goals that will be applied on the ground.

This government led by Benjamin Netanyahu, Itmar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich is no different from the other governments that presided the Israeli occupation since its establishment. Such governments had put a clear policy and objectives once they occupied Palestine. However, they could not achieve their main goal represented in the displacement of Palestinians even though they killed and expelled Palestinians, confiscated lands, built colonial settlements and committed massacres that were carried out incompletely such as the massacres of Deir Yassin, Kafr Qassem, Al-Tantoura. In addition to that, more than 40 Palestinian villages were demolished and their families were displaced. Despite all of those merciless crimes implemented by the Israeli occupation, the problem continues to worsen as all governments implement their policies deceiving the international community in methods that apparently violate the international law.

Perhaps, what distinguishes the extreme government nowadays is its explicit announcement of its policy and confirmation of its terrorism and racism, without any consideration to the international community, the international law nor the Zionist community which rejected this policy and considered it as the first step towards the destruction of the state.

Notwithstanding all threats issued by the international and regional community or the Zionist society, this government proceeds with its racial, biblical policy.   

Ben Gvir's intrusion to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa days ago is just the beginning, despite his way of incursion and being surrounded by the occupation soldiers. He was also accused of wearing a protective shield, referring to his terror during the break-in.

A look into the other situations:

What is happening inside the occupation entity after the assumption of Netanyahu-Ben Gvir's government indicates way more than what is being addressed in the Hebrew media. What is happening on the ground confirms that a huge intifada is about to break out and a confrontation between the Israeli occupation and the Palestinian people -headed by the Palestinian Resistance- is soon to occur in Gaza, Al-Quds, West Bank and the 1948 Palestinian lands. This is the visible reality amid the assumption of an extreme, racist and terrorist leadership of the Israeli occupation at the Palestinian level and regional level, especially the normalizing states. The situations in such states might develop against the system that opposes the occupation's. Those states might even undergo many significant disruptions that would affect the normalization system and process. What we have recently witnessed during the World Cup 2022 is perhaps the best evidence. When a man breathes freedom, he expresses his position and opinion explicitly. The citizens of the normalizing states live under media repression and security domination by the governing authorities, yet this will not last longer.

At the international level, there is a media movement against the extreme government and there are serious threats that might stop the funds provided for the occupation entity. Yet, personally, I do not expect the international community to act as required. It all depends on the Palestinian movement, intifada and resistance, so when the international community takes action, its actions will be in favor of the occupation entity not the Palestinian people. This is at the level of the United States and the European Union. Their actions will be simple and superficial, yet might change based on the Palestinians' moves.

Regarding the international community, the Israeli occupation does not give it a considerable interest. However, it will be having real actions yet their impact will be weak.

The Zionist society has started to move against Netanyahu and Ben Gvir's policies and expect Ben Gvir to destroy the colonial project. Netanyahu-Ben Gvir's policy will cause a conflict among the segments of the Zionist society, and this conflict might further develop to constitute a civil war inside the occupation entity.
