"Israeli" Analyst: Netanyahu Exposed Our Most Important Strategic Ally Against Iran

Ben Caspit, an analyst for Ma'ariv, launched a fierce attack on Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, criticizing his disclosure of a secret visit to the United Arab Emirates during the war against Iran. Caspit described Netanyahu as "not sober-minded."

In an article, Ben Caspit wrote: "Benjamin Netanyahu's supporters usually ask, at the beginning or end of a discussion: 'Okay, but who can replace him?' There are many answers to this question, but the correct one this morning is: He can be replaced by someone who does not expose our most important strategic ally in the region in the face of Iran; by someone who does not boast and officially confirm a visit to the UAE during a war with Iran; and by someone who does not cause massive damage to our interests and theirs just to reap short-term media gain or distract from the early election schedule and similar trivialities."

He added: "Israeli prime ministers hold secret meetings all the time—with leaders, counterparts, foreign security agencies, and various entities where silence is appropriate. 'Sober' Israeli prime ministers do not leak news of these meetings, so as not to harm the interests of Israel and its partners, and to allow such contacts to continue in the future."

He continued: "As for Benjamin Netanyahu, he is not a sober prime minister. From his perspective, his interests precede those of the state. He knows that revealing his arrival in the UAE during a war between Israel and Iran will cause massive, unimaginable damage to our ally. No one knows this better than him. No one. Yet, on Wednesday evening, the Prime Minister's Office officially confirmed the visit, and the 'useful idiot' on duty, Ziv Agmon, even bragged that 'the Sheikh himself took Netanyahu in his car to the palace.'"

Ben Caspit asserted: "This man is unfit for office. He has been for a long time. Even if the news of the visit was leaked, the Prime Minister's Office should have ignored it, not commented, or even denied it. He will surely claim he is incapable of lying, but the problem is no one will believe him—not even himself. Why did he do it? To stop talk of moving up the elections? To shift the agenda away from the infuriating negotiations he is conducting regarding the conscription evasion law? What does it matter? The point is he committed an act that must not be committed—one that indicates recklessness, incompetence, and a loss of direction."

He concluded: "The UAE is located a stone's throw from Iran. It is a small country that lacks the capacity to confront the Islamic Republic. Our relations with it are public, but a prime minister's visit there during a war with Iran is a move bordering on treason. Netanyahu's confirmation forced the UAE to officially deny the visit, at a time when Abbas Araghchi was already threatening the UAE and speaking of 'serious consequences' for this act of betrayal. Yes, this is the man managing our lives here."
