This past week gave us at least one significant insight about the change of government in Israel. The Bennett-Lapid government arose and is being run in correspondence with the progressive revolution in the US, which has formed an alliance with the Islamist movements.

For the first time, an established research institute, the Reut Institute, has offered a thorough analysis of the phenomenon. The leftist-Islamist alliance explains the Israeli government's forced defensiveness in the face of a "low-level intifada" carried out by the Arabs of Israel under the leadership of Hamas. For years, people have spoken about a red-green alliance in Europe. Now, the Reut report says that the phenomenon had moved to America, where it is frighteningly successful.
Authors of the report Eran Shayshon, Adi Levy, and Abed Assli write that this analysis "supplies a basis for an understanding about the drastic change in American policy in the Middle East … the slow in the momentum of normalization of the Abraham Accords, the American laxity toward Iran, and the surprising support of many in the progressive movement for Hamas in its struggle against the more moderate Palestinian Authority."
While the defense establishment has identified a few Palestinian "human rights" groups as terrorist organizations because of their links to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Muslim Brotherhood are actual partners in the Israeli government. The Likud and the Right as a whole, who represent the majority of the Israeli public, still haven't been declared terrorist entities, but a campaign is under way to delegitimize and erase the Opposition. The Netanyahu trial, conducted with a lot of noise from the media, and the Gideon Sa'ar bill to limit the number of terms a prime minister can serve, were designed to imprint a new term – "Netanyahu trauma," as Haim Ramon called it. We are watching a process play out that is not a change of government through an election, but rather a "change of government."
According to the Reut report, "The basic change [in the Democratic Party in the US] is to a large extent the result of a deeper political-social alliance between radical progressive entities and entities identified with political Islam, especially organizations identified with the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood."
The antisemitism that goes along with this as well as the anti-Israel sentiment, which have already been exposed in battles over defense aid, are the result of the camp led by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib taking over. "The strategy and the level of organization by groups identified with the Muslim Brotherhood in the US allow influence on US foreign policy in the Middle East, especially an anti-Israel agenda," the report says.
It turns out that Muslim organizations are focusing their activity in Washington using support supplied by Qatar and Turkey. According to the researchers from Reut, these groups do not represent the majority of American Muslims. Therefore, they are focusing on exerting influence at research institutes, radical left-wing political organizations, and some aspects of the "progressive" battle that are unrelated to Islamism or anti-Israel interests.
It's doubtful that Britain and few other states that have joined in and declared Hamas a terrorist organization – how is this new? – can make up for the US administration turning into a Hamas supporter. Hamas is the big winner in Biden's victory and the establishment of an Israeli government that is allied with the Muslim Brotherhood, in the Arab Israeli version.
