At this time, a very shocking and big statement has come out from West Asia in the corridors of international diplomacy. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Has expressed a big apprehension about the coming future. Addressing an important event just before the country’s general elections to be held on October 27, Netanyahu openly admitted that Israel may have to face a hostile administration in the United States (USA) in the future, which could have a serious impact on the decades-old military cooperation and strategic partnership between the two countries. To deal with this fear of a possible change in Washington’s political stance, the Israeli Prime Minister has emphasized on forming a new diplomatic alliance with other big countries of the world. Under this entire strategy he especially India Has advocated further strengthening of relations with India. Let us know what is the geopolitical meaning of this statement of Netanyahu and what major change Israel is preparing in its foreign policy.
Fear of change in American attitude in future and concern of Netanyahu
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in his address, expressed deep concern that there could be a major change in the American political landscape in the next few years. If there is a change of power in America, a President may take command of the White House, whose attitude may be very strict or hostile towards Israel. Netanyahu openly challenged and raised the question that if such an adverse situation arises in the future, how will Israel deal with America and protect its security? For this, the country will have to make long-term strategic preparations from now on.
Interestingly, this statement of Netanyahu has come just hours after US President Donald Trump gave strong and open support to his election campaign. Despite this, Netanyahu’s thinking shows that Israeli diplomacy no longer wants to completely limit its dependence on just one superpower. He called upon the countrymen and his supporters that Israel should take full advantage of the current tenure of the Trump administration and completely strengthen its military, economic and diplomatic position. To avoid any possible US policy change or shock, Israel will have to expand its options globally.
Emphasis on new diplomatic alliances with India and Latin American countries
To balance his dependence on America, Netanyahu has drawn a blueprint to increase strategic partnerships with other influential and emerging countries of the world. He especially India Taking the name of India, he said that India is not a small country, but is emerging as a big superpower on the global stage. Along with this, while mentioning the rapidly changing political scenario of Latin America, he gave the example of countries like Brazil and said that Israel will have to continuously expand the scope of its diplomatic allies.
Netanyahu stressed that Israel must make its technological, scientific and military capabilities so valuable and unique that every country in the world will be inspired to join them. Breaking beyond the geopolitical boundaries of the Middle East and making new friends globally has now become the biggest imperative for Israel’s national security.
Have mentioned our special relations with India and PM Modi earlier also.
This is not the first time that Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly cited his close ties with India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to dismiss fears of Israel’s alleged global isolation. Earlier in the month of May, during an interview, he had clearly said that Israel has very unique and deep relations with a huge global superpower like India, and the common people of India also have a special attachment and affinity towards Israel.
Political analysts believe that in the last few years, there has been increasing resentment within the American Democratic Party regarding Israel’s policies and some of Netanyahu’s decisions. Netanyahu’s relations with the administrations of former US President Barack Obama and Joe Biden have often been tense and Cold War-like. However, in Israel’s domestic political circles, Netanyahu has been using this situation to create the image of a ‘strong and steadfast leader’ who can stand up to the presidents of a superpower like America without bowing down for the country’s supreme interests. This aggressive nationalist stance has always been an infallible and major cornerstone of his election campaigns. In view of the upcoming elections, his statement once again proves how far-sighted and practical he is regarding the country’s security and foreign policy.
