Why it's best to support Netanyahu for reelection
Walter Bingham makes a case in favor of Benjamin Netanyahu being reinstated as a prime minister for Israel, and explains why the Bennett/Lapid government failed:
It is a fact that today, our political situation has deteriorated into a yawning abyss, generated by the Bennett-Lapid government’s repeated accommodations to their coalition partner Mansour Abbas and his Islamist Arab Ra’am party, a known sympathizer of the Muslim Brotherhood.Correct on that. And on Netanyahu, he says:
On June 12, 2021, The Jerusalem Post wrote about Ra’am’s plans and intentions: “...within the party’s 80-page charter, which outlines the party’s political agenda, the party makes its denouncement of Zionism clear, calling it a racist ideology and demanding the right of return for Palestinians expelled in 1948...” That alone shows the futility of accepting Ra’am in government.
Of course, no prime minister has exceptional talent or qualifications in all aspects of government, but foreign policy and diplomacy are paramount for the security of Israel. And this brings me to Benjamin Netanyahu. There have been occasions when I have severely criticized him for having made promises that he never kept and that is still valid.Yes, there's valid arguments here too. And that's all why it's best to cast support for the Likud now.
But I realize that I must put aside my censure of his failure to fulfil his promise of extending sovereignty to the Jordan valley and his neglect to protect our heartland of Judea and Samaria, because the priority today is the rouge state of Iran led by Shia Islamist fundamentalists, who openly and repeatedly threaten the existence of our Jewish state. That is particularly ominous because they are not far from nuclear breakout.
Netanyahu has demonstrated on several occasions that he has the ability to convince the international community of the danger of a nuclear Iran not only to Israel but to the stability of the Middle East.
Unlike Bennett, during whose speech to the UN assembly the hall was sparsely occupied, Netanyahu is recognized internationally as an accomplished statesman, respected and listened to by his fellow foreign leaders. He was instrumental with president Trump in accomplishing the Abraham Accords under his premiership there were promising negotiations with at least one more country.
