Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Monday that “Israel may find itself facing international and economic isolation,” citing mounting political backlash and potential sanctions in the aftermath of recent conflicts.

Speaking at the annual conference of the director general of accounts in the Finance Ministry, Netanyahu said that “hostile states are investing huge sums to influence debates on social media, putting us in a kind of isolation.” He cautioned of “a tangible risk of economic sanctions and restrictions on importing weapons and spare parts.”

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that “countries like Qatar and China invest heavily to sway Western media with an anti-Israeli agenda, using bots, AI, and ads.”

"You open your phone and you're bombarded, especially on TikTok. It's far more powerful than traditional media," He added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that "Israel" may face political isolation amid the genocide in Gaza, saying, “We are going to be a super-Sparta, we have no choice.”

He acknowledged possible sanctions and said "Israel would increasingly have to adapt to an economy that has autarkic characteristics" without reliance on foreign trade. He added that isolation could affect "Israel's" ability to import weapons and ammunition. Opposition leader Yair Lapid dismissed the remarks as “a crazy statement.”

'Israel' faces growing isolation

The Israeli Channel 13 described the situation facing the Israeli regime as a “political tsunami,” saying the entity’s isolation has deepened following its failed attack in Qatar.

According to the broadcaster, countries that once considered themselves close to the Israeli regime, such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, are moving closer to Iran and no longer view the Israeli occupation as a reliable ally.

The report added that a “diplomatic quagmire” is unfolding, noting that the impact of the regime’s growing isolation at the United Nations has yet to be fully addressed.

The Israeli strike on Doha, which aimed to assassinate senior Hamas leaders, failed but resulted in several deaths and injuries, drawing widespread condemnation from Arab and international actors.

'Israel' in an uncomfortable position

According to the Wall Street Journal, the attack was carried out using long-range missiles launched from the Red Sea, which crossed Saudi airspace before striking the Qatari capital. The report said eight F-15s and four F-35s were deployed in the mission.

The paper added that Washington was notified only minutes before the operation and without full details of the intended target, leaving the US military unable to act in time. A senior Pentagon official described the episode as "absolutely unbelievable."

The incident drew widespread criticism as it marked the first Israeli operation inside the territory of a key US ally. US President Donald Trump later sought to distance Washington from the attack, insisting that it had been the sole decision of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He assured Qatari leaders that "such an attack would not happen again."
