Arab States Launch Campaign to Undermine Netanyahu and Israeli Right Wing

Dr. Eddy Cohen, an expert on the Arab world, revealed in a recent interview that several Arab countries have initiated a campaign aimed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party. According to Cohen, the campaign's goal is to topple Netanyahu, which they believe will lead to the collapse of the right-wing bloc in Israel. He explained that these states see Netanyahu and Likud as the main obstacle preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Cohen discussed the recent Likud primaries, noting that while some party members were disappointed with the results, the broader concern lies in the external pressures from the Arab world. He emphasized that the campaign is not merely about removing Netanyahu personally but about triggering a domino effect: removing Netanyahu would weaken Likud, which in turn would dismantle the right-wing coalition, potentially paving the way for a left-wing government and the creation of a Palestinian state.

The interview was part of the "Yoman Tzohorayim" program, where Cohen highlighted the geopolitical implications of the Arab campaign against the Israeli right. This development underscores the ongoing regional dynamics influencing Israeli domestic politics ahead of the 2026 elections.
