The hidden goals of the Israeli president’s visit to Bahrain and the UAE.
After the recent parliamentary elections in the occupied territories, which were accompanied by the ascension of extreme right-wing parties to power, concerns have increased among the senior officials of the Arab countries about their future interactions with the Zionist regime. From their point of view, the gaining power of parties such as “religious Zionism” and “Jewish Power” with elements arising from extreme right-wing thinking, Jewish religious extremism and extremely nationalist Zionist political ideologies shows the supremacy of Jews and racists against Arabs in the Israeli political arena.
This fear has also been reflected in the recent speeches of Yitzhak Herzog and Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of the Likud Party and the candidate for the formation of the new cabinet, who spoke of the “concern of the whole world” about the rise of extremist Jews to power. This issue was particularly reflected due to the role of the leaders of the Jewish racist parties in attacking, raiding and suppressing the Arabs living in the occupied territories, especially during the destruction of Palestinian homes in Al-Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Quds city.
This week’s visit of Israeli Prime Minister Isaac Herzog to the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, should be seen as the latest attempt by a high-ranking official of the Zionist regime to show Tel Aviv’s determination to improve relations with its Emirati and Bahraini counterparts. Behind closed doors, Herzog will probably assure Bahraini King Hamad Bin Issa and UAE President Mohammed Bin Zayed that there is not going to be a change in the accelerated normalization process with the change of cabinet in the occupied territories and the establishment of right-wing and racist parties allied to Netanyahu. Establish relations between Israel and these countries.
