Israel has faced unprecedented global sanctions, a first for a democratic Western nation. However, as long as Donald Trump remains in power, Europe is unlikely to impose harsher sanctions.
The article draws a parallel to South Africa's National Party, which ruled from 1948 to 1994 under the apartheid regime. This party reached its peak power in the late 1970s and early 1980s, securing over 80% of parliamentary seats in elections open only to white citizens. Even at its lowest point in the 1989 elections, the party still held 57% of the seats.
