Israel's internal turmoil blinds it to shifting US policies
Israeli media reports say the country's political leadership is caught in a severe “attention disorder,” focusing on internal disputes such as Defense Minister Yisrael Katz’s dismissal of a senior officer while overlooking major changes in United States politics. Analysts note that the U.S. Democratic Party is experiencing internal shifts and a rise in anti‑Semitic incidents, developments that could reshape Washington’s stance toward Israel.
Commentators, including economist Jeffrey Sachs, argue that Israel is deteriorating from within and that former President Donald Trump has withdrawn from active Middle‑East involvement. The combination of domestic political infighting and external strategic blind spots is seen as a risk to Israel’s regional position and its relationship with the United States.
