What Israel’s staunchest backers don’t understand, says Thomas Friedman in The New York Times, is that “the Israel we knew is gone”. In Benjamin Netanyahu the country has a leader who must stay in power to avoid potentially being sent to prison on corruption charges. To do so, he has “sold his soul” to form a government with the far-right Jewish extremists Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. These ultranationalists insist that “Israel must fight in Gaza until it has killed every last Hamasnik”
