Political survival is not a strategy
Israel needs strength and diplomacy. Treating them as enemies is the real danger.

The United States and Iran have reached a deal to end their war and will hold an official signing ceremony on Friday in Switzerland, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on social media early on Monday.
"The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform shortly after Sharif made his announcement.
The precise terms of the deal were not immediately known. Sharif said the pact called for "the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon".
Multiple sources previously said that the draft deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, end the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports and extend a ceasefire, while leaving Iran's nuclear program to be addressed during a 60-day period of additional talks.
In his social media post, Trump said the strait would be open "toll free" and that the U.S. naval blockade would also end.
"Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!" Trump wrote.

Israel needs strength and diplomacy. Treating them as enemies is the real danger.
President Donald Trump criticised an Israeli strike on Lebanon that could complicate attempts to finalise a framework deal between the United States and Iran on Sunday on ending their war, but said an agreement was nonetheless close.
When Iran's Team Melli takes to the field in Los Angeles on Monday against New Zealand, the game will be about far more than football. It will be a confrontation between a theocratic regime desperate to control its image abroad and the millions of Iranians - at home and in exile - who refuse to let it.
