Netanyahu Broad Coalition

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly preparing to form a broad national government after the election, sources close to Otzma Yehudit chairman Itamar Ben-Gvir say.
Left-leaning sources argue the coalition threatens Israel’s diplomatic standing and could deepen regional isolation.
Former diplomats say Britain’s sanctions signal diplomatic failure tied to settler violence and E1 plan.
A diplomat warns Israel abandoned diplomacy after Oct 7, missing chances to normalize with Saudi Arabia.

Blindspot

History

Historical Context

On 17 September 1978 Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat signed the Camp David Accords, obliging Israel to withdraw from the Sinai and evacuate about 4,500 civilians. The agreement reshaped Arab-Israeli dynamics and proved that settlement-driven coalitions could attract diplomatic pressure. Today Netanyahu’s talks with far-right partner Itamar Ben Gvir echo that balance between hard-line policies and international scrutiny.
