Netanyahu’s alliances are cracking and the genocidaire flees forward with more violence and famine. Anger and world repudiation multiply their expressions. Why are there bourgeois governments criticizing their ally Israel?Why do they intend to recreate the “two-state” trap? The only way out is a “free Palestine from the river to the sea”.

Problems from above
The problems for Netanyahu have deepened in the last month.
The ultra-Orthodox “United Torah Judaism Party” formally left Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition on July 16, after negotiations to preserve exemptions to military service for its religious students failed.
On the same day, “Shas”, the other key ultra-Orthodox party with 11 deputies also threatened to withdraw, which left the government trying to govern with only 50 of the 120 seats in the Knesset, losing its parliamentary majority.
It is a reaction against the demands to recruit ultra-Orthodox men to the ranks of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). This exacerbated the already existing tensions between the religious, secular and far-right sectors within the coalition.
Without a majority or cohesion, the Netanyahu government appears at constant risk of political collapse.
To more crisis, more violence and flight forward
Netanyahu responds to the inconveniences with more aggressions.
Israel has carried out several attacks on humanitarian activities. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) attacked the main headquarters of the World Health Organization, located in Deir al-Balah, in the center of Gaza, three times, and made arrests and assaulted organization personnel in the area.
The UN also reported that more than 1,000 people have been killed while trying to access humanitarian aid, many of them at food distribution points attacked by Israel. Doctors Without Borders and Caritas have warned that the population is facing famine-like conditions, with more than 900,000 children affected and 70,000 in a state of severe malnutrition.
The Netanyahu government has institutionalized the logic of ”fleeing forward,” resorting to more violence to stay in power and not be punished for the genocide it commands.
How long can this criminal logic be sustained for?
Hypocrites in action
The situation is so frightening that imperialism and some of its governments are more insistently criticizing the State of Israel.
The Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, announced that the United Kingdom will officially recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September 2025, “unless…” Israel promotes a ceasefire, allows unhindered humanitarian aid and stops annexations in the West Bank and commits to the “two-state solution” French President Emmanuel Macron made similar statements.
The European Commission proposed to partially suspend Israel’s participation in the Horizon Europe program as punishment for violations of the Association Agreement, including lack of humanitarian access and human rights violations. Although it did not achieve the qualified majority necessary to approve the suspension due to the lack of support from the States that compose it, including Germany and Italy that abstained.
They do not criticize the Zionists because they have become humanitarian, or pro-Palestinian. The explanations have to be sought elsewhere.
Movements from below
The questions were increased because the mobilization of the peoples critically challenges the governments.
In the imperialist and other countries, even repressing and limiting protests, the authorities have found themselves in the dilemma of saying something – without changing anything of substance – or being exposed to the isolation of the mass movement in solidarity with Palestine.
Despite the massacres, the Zionists have not managed to break the resistance of the Palestinian people and the world’s repudiation of genocidal actions has sustained, growing and deeper characteristics. And there is another important element to take into account, internal mobilizations. In cities such as Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem and others, various groups, including Israelis and Palestinians, are intensifying protests in solidarity with Palestine, demanding an immediate cessation of the conflict, ceasefire negotiations, the release of hostages, an end to genocide and the killings of children. On several occasions the Israeli police repressed and detained protesters, and banners with slogans such as “Stop the genocide” and “Stop the massacre of children” were seized.
The anger and the repudiation of genocide and famine is spreading in all areas.
Defeat the Zionist horror
The eroded institutionality increases a historical challenge for the Israeli working class and popular sectors.
It is about kicking out Netanyahu with the mobilization, breaking with the fascist Israeli regime, advanced image of capitalist-imperialist barbarism and openly standing together with the Palestinian people to stop the genocide and punish those responsible.
We repudiate the continuity of the genocide in Palestine, the aggressions against humanitarian organizations and the famine as a tool of war; with excuses that cannot hide the colonialist character of the State of Israel and that its criminal actions continue with the imperialist and great powers endorsement. Down with the block on humanitarian and food aid! Boycott Israel! Against the cynicism of the bourgeois governments that criticize something in order not to change anything, we demand the rupture of relations and treaties of the governments with Israel, its companies and interests!
Why are there leaders who want to recreate the “two-state” policy? The wretches who supported the consolidation of the Zionist enclave for decades and are accomplices of the genocide and the current famine, intend to recreate a new and illusory trap, precisely, after letting the destruction of Gaza and the new occupations advance.
History has shown that one cannot coexist with a systematically genocidal, racist and colonialist State. For there to be a just and lasting peace, it is not enough for the murderer Netanyahu to fall, it is necessary to defeat the State of Israel, the regime established 77 years ago, the imperialism that sustains it and put up a unique, secular, democratic, non-racist and socialist Palestine, within the framework of the socialist revolution throughout the Middle East.
