The second road leads to The Hague. If Israel rejects the Saudi move it will abandon the hostages, the war will continue, Itamar Ben-Gvir will repeatedly return to the Temple Mount compound in an attempt to open new fronts and will ultimately succeed. The settlers will establish outposts in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu and Gallant will become personae non grata around the world and Israel will be condemned as a criminal state, and begin a downward spiral.
Israel’s elites will leave, military service will be extended, the middle class will be shattered. Terror attacks will spread to the country’s cities, the West Bank will burn, Jewish-Arab tensions will erupt, Kahanism will spread, armed militias will roam the streets, crime will surge, American Jews will turn their backs on Israel and the U.S. will lose its political interest in this country. When people think of Israel, they’ll conjure up characters such as Ben-Gvir and Limor Son Har-Melech. After a while, pictures of contemporary Israel will look like pictures of Tehran before the revolution. The Israeli way of life will disappear.
