Netanyahu announced new security doctrine for Israel. He said: "You dont wait to absorb or accept the building of offensive capabilities against us, and you dont rely just on interpreting the enemys intentions. Intentions could change overnight. Friends can become foes overnight."

He said Israel will strike first. And he said friends can become foes. This is about Turkey. Middle East Eye reported that Netanyahu accused Turkey of leading an extreme Sunni axis. He said conflict with Turkey is possible under this doctrine. He said Israel is not about to capitulate.

The doctrine has 10 principles. It calls for preemptive strikes and buffer zones. And it says no Palestinian state will ever be established. So Israel is openly saying it will attack anyone it sees as a threat. This is state terrorism.

This article is from the 19th, nine days ago. As of the past few days, Israel has been undergoing an election for the seat of Prime Minister, where Netanyahu currently stands. Its been looking close to negative for his reelection in polls, a large resurgence against him bolstered by popular belief that he preformed badly in the wars for the Greater Israel Project. If he isnt reelected, we will likely see the wars scaling up, whether it be frequency or intensity.

As for this article, its likely a last-minute political move to indicate a willingness to go further with the wars, out of hopes to strengthen his reelection prospects. Whoever wins, I fear what will happen to Lebanon and Palestine.
