🇮🇱 Israel’s domestic front risks implosion.

With the return last November of the government of the veteran "Bibi" Netanyahu who built a majority composed of extremist political forces, Israel risks blowing up an internal cauldron with a highly precarious balance. Likud is joined by Orthodox ultra-Zionism such as Ben Gvir, the new security minister, and by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who immediately clarified the intentions of the new executive.

😢We start from last January, Ben Gvir, previously accused of embracing forms of Islamophobia and legitimizing the expulsion of Arabs from the Jewish State at a time when, instead, they should be assimilated given the growing demographic expansion of them in Israel, always subordinate to the law of the Nation-State approved by the Knesset in 2018 that puts at the center the indisputable Jewish identity of Israel above all, decides to visit the Esplanade of the Mosques in Jerusalem, place of worship disputed between the different religions that live together. Dangerous action that led to new threats from Hamas, the condemnation of Jordan and the request of the United States to "maintain order and the status quo". Washington wants to avoid catastrophic destabilizations in a region that it considers currently secondary after the decades of the War on Terror and in which it does not want to return massively. It therefore calls on the Israeli ally to keep calm by defusing the dangerous transformations of the status quo in Jerusalem and the West Bank. The plans for the semi-annexation of the Netanyahu government of the West Bank, which announced the expansion of the IDF’s military occupation following a series of terrorist attacks in Jerusalem that resulted in the deaths of 14 Israelis and several dozen Palestinians, a red line that cannot be crossed for the USA remains.

🇺🇸The situation remained tense despite the arrival of US Secretary of State Blinken in Israel at the end of January, who tried to mediate between the parties. A dialogue, that between Jerusalem and Washington, which is now at a standstill, if not of tension if it were not for the common interest to avoid a nuclear Iran putting on the table all options, including the military action that is done every day that passes more concrete than ever.

The extreme action of the government of Netanyahu, probably not legitimized by the apparatus of Mossad and Shin Bet, not only constitutes a danger for the internal stability of the Jewish State but also for the Arab Emirates on which Washington’s diplomacy has worked allowing a historical normalization of relations with Israel in 2020 through the agreements of Abraham that can find a Stop or stall beat.

It is not by chance that the United States has condemned Israel in the last few hours following statements by the Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, suggesting that the Palestinian town of Huwara be razed. The US State Department called the proposal "repulsive and disgusting".

🗡 Armin Papperger (CEO of Rheinmetall) says company is negotiating with Kyiv on establishing “Panther” MBT production in Ukraine. Says talks are promising, hopes for decision in two months.

💰Cost is 200 mln euro for infrastructure, aims to produce 400 Panther per year.

🇺🇦 We can understand Kiev's desire to attract Western “capital”, but it's a mistake. Ukraine has a good "know-how" on MBTs, for the example the T-80 "OplotM" which is the best variant of the T-80s (better than the Russian variants). The problem is that the "project" has been blocked for “absence of budget” and so not being able to bring it in with the Ukrainian army.

🇺🇸 The US Army Chief of Staff, General Mark Milley, visited northeastern Syria and held talks with some of the more than 900 American troops in the country. Milley reiterated the maintenance of the US military to counter the Islamic State troops not completely removed from the country in civil war for more than a decade. The US military in Syria also serves to combat Iranian threats from Iraq and Syria. The intentions of Milley and the Pentagon are aligned with the will to fight the regime of the Ayatollahs despite the progressive American disengagement from the Middle East and despite Iran being a tactical and not a strategic problem for Washington.
