Haim Bresheeth, professor at the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies, says this is far from the end of the war, despite a ceasefire and ongoing negotiations, and that the Israeli public knows this.
“This is not even a ceasefire at the moment because Israel is firing at Lebanon,” he told Al Jazeera, adding that if Trump is “unable or unwilling to stop this”, it shows “weakness”.
He said Israelis feel they are at a “cliff edge” because of the ongoing conflicts, and pointed out that Israeli public support for the war has dropped, and it will continue to fall.
Bresheeth describes the conflict as a “war forever” that serves Netanyahu’s political survival. He warned that Americans will blame Trump for being led into what he called the first US defeat since Vietnam.
“This is not done in the interest of Israelis or Americans or anybody else.”
