Before the announcement of the “Sharm El-Sheikh” agreement mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, Israel was betting that the world would forgive and forget. However, Western reports confirmed that Israel’s isolation was no longer theoretical but a tangible reality.

Netanyahu found himself alone facing the world, as reflected in his appearance at the United Nations, avoiding European airspace out of fear of an ICC arrest warrant, and speaking to an empty, cold hall after delegates left.

High-level European figures openly accused Israel of committing genocide, while calls to impose an arms embargo in the United States increased, even among supportive Democrats, including former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

In August, 28 Western countries urged Israel to end its brutality in Gaza, alongside threats of cultural, academic, and sports boycotts. Israeli academics and former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert acknowledged that Israel had become a pariah state.

Ordinary Israelis bet on Trump and Washington, believing the US would support them. Yet Trump exerted unprecedented pressure on Israel in recent days, prompting Netanyahu to warn that Israel must prepare for economic self-sufficiency like ancient Sparta.

A recent Pew survey showed 58% of Israelis believe their country has lost the world’s respect, with younger people in wealthy countries holding more negative views of Israel.

Most Israelis want the war to end, increasingly aware of the damage the conflict has done to Israel’s image and isolation, making a resumption of war less likely.

In recent months, Trump opened direct talks with Hamas, made a deal with Yemen’s Houthis unknown to Israelis until after the fact, lifted sanctions on Syria’s new government despite Israeli objections, and expressed willingness to negotiate with Iran, increasing pressure on Netanyahu.

Hatred toward Israel has grown in previously immune countries, with massive protests across Europe against Israel just days before the Sharm El-Sheikh agreement, marking a dangerous turning point in Europe’s historic relations with Israel.

Some analysts foresee Israel on a path to collapse and disappearance, possibly a gradual collective return to where their ancestors came from over seventy years ago.

The entire Western world, including the US and Israel itself, urgently needed an agreement to end the Palestinian tragedy and restore the West’s reputation, which is now seen as a geographic space protecting brutality and systematic genocide.

Thus, for the first time, the world agreed on the necessity to stop the war, leaving Netanyahu no choice but to bow to global public opinion, without achieving any of his goals, awaiting his political fate and possibly imprisonment.
