'Israel' losing on several fronts: NYT

A report from The New York Times underscores the Israeli failure in the Gaza Strip and highlights the escalation of global public outrage directed towards both Washington and 'Tel Aviv'.

In a report by The New York Times, American Columnist Thomas Friedman highlighted that "Israel" is losing on three fronts. He suggests that the occupation entity is losing the global narrative that it is engaged in a just war, adding that "It has no plan to ever get out of Gaza, so it will eventually sink into the sands there with a permanent occupation that will surely complicate relations with all its Arab allies and friends across the globe."

Friedman explains that "Israel" is also losing regionally to Iran and the Lebanese Resistance in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, who are pressuring the northern, southern, and eastern borders of occupied Palestine. 

According to him, the only solution for "Israel" is a "two-state solution", which he believes would strengthen the occupation's relationship with its Arab allies.

However, he warns that if "Israel" fails to see the solution, it would be "imperiling decades of diplomacy to get the world to recognize the right of the Jewish people to national self-determination and self-defense in their historic homeland."

'US and Israeli global standing could decline'

In a message to US President Joe Biden and the Israeli people, Friedman stressed that "I am seeing the increasingly rapid erosion of Israel’s standing among friendly nations — a level of acceptance and legitimacy that was painstakingly built up over decades," warning that "if Biden is not careful, America’s global standing will plummet right along with Israel’s."

He added, "I do not think that the Israelis or the Biden administration fully appreciate the anger that is rising around the world, fueled by social media and television footage, over the killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians, especially children, by US-supplied weapons."

Freidman highlights that every day there are new calls to ban "Israel" from international academic, artistic, and athletic competitions or events. That said, many Israeli allies are now praying for a ceasefire to avoid being called out by their people and voters for their support for "Israel" amid the ongoing aggression on Gaza, which has claimed the lives of thousands. 

He concluded his report by expressing sympathy for the "strategic dilemma Israel encountered on October 7". He noted that as the number of Palestinian martyrs increased, the operation seemed akin to a human meat grinder, with the apparent objective of reducing the population to facilitate easier control of the Strip by "Israel".
