WhatsappFor more than 40 years, Benjamin Netanyhau has led the world to a firm understanding of just how dangerous Iran’s buildup of ballistic and nuclear missiles was. Donald Trump, the businessman, took note.
Whether it was Netanyahu’s unforgettable speeches in the UN, or as a visiting Head of State, Netanyahu never put anything above the Iranian threat. Netanyahu has been a controversial leader in Israel for so many years, that nearly everybody in Israel seems to be a staunch supporter or an antagonist. That is often what happens in countries without term limits. Despite it all, he has stayed in power for an extremely long period of time. Netanyahu seems to have always been the leader that just never left the podium for more than a small hiatus. He seemed to almost have a gravitational pull to the Prime Minister’s Office in Israel.
Perhaps now we can see why. He had a pivotal role to play that perhaps no other person would have had the guts, wherewithal, and persistence to see through till the end. Iran has terrorized Israel via it’s proxies for so many decades that it seemed like a given that could never change. Hizbullah’s 140,000+ missiles would shield and scare Israel from the North, while Hamas would terrorize from the South, and Iran would continue their massive nuclear and ballistic buildup for a coordinated attack that would destroy the State of Israel. That was the plan. But just as the Cold War evaporated in the late 1980’s in shocking fashion, the Iranian threat has fallen apart in a rapid-fire manner.
The Iranian plan began to unravel and fall apart on October 7th, the most tragic day in modern Jewish history since the Holocaust. The Hamas surprise attack was not well coordinated with Hizbullah and Iran, and Israel was able to lick it’s wounds and regroup. Israel then proceeded to take apart the Hizbullah, Iranian-backed forces in Syria and Iran separately – without fighting on all fronts at the same time.
But all of this was done due to the amazingly effective leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu that was topped off with the bravery of Donald Trump who gave the go-ahead to take out the main objective – the threat of a nuclear Iran.
The next few years – and maybe decades – will not be the beginning of major wars. They will be the years of America known as a great country that will not stand by silently as a thugocracy threatens the safety of the Western world. But more than anything, the future of Israel is super bright.
What is abundantly clear is that this major attack on Iran will be followed up by peace agreements and financial understandings that take the Abraham Accords up another few notches. Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and perhaps even Iran will sign deals that promise a future of stability and peace for years to come.
Peace in the Middle East is evolving in front of our eyes. But Israel must eradicate it’s enemies from within, now that most of it’s enemies from outside are melting away due to some amazing Mossad operatives, hi-tech soldiers, skilled Israeli pilots, and amazing IDF special forces.
