        "summary": "Analyst David Rosenberg argues in Haaretz that Israel is no longer able economically or politically to sustain Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's appetite for prolonged open warfare, following policy shifts since the 7 October 2023 attack. Rosenberg highlights how Netanyahu's approach has led to a permanent state of war readiness, draining the economy and exhausting society, in stark contrast to his pre-attack caution and even US President Donald Trump's eventual de-escalation efforts. Examples include ongoing Israeli airstrikes in Beirut and Netanyahu's apparent desire to continue strikes against Iran, underscoring the unsustainable shift in strategy.",
        "content": "<p>REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, TEL AVIV\u2014 Writer David Rosenberg, in an article\npublished on the Israeli website Haaretz, assesses that Israel, both\neconomically and politically, can no longer bear what he describes as\nPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s desire to continue engaging in open\nand prolonged warfare.<\/p>\n<p>According to Rosenberg, the policy changes led by Netanyahu since the\n7 October 2023 attack have driven Israel towards a permanent state of\nwar readiness that drains the economy, fatigues society, and places the\nnation\u2019s future under severe challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenberg notes that US President Donald Trump, although initially\nenthusiastic about confronting Iran, quickly realised the risks of\ninvolvement in prolonged warfare. Therefore, Trump subsequently sought\nto reduce US military involvement.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Netanyahu is seen as moving in the opposite direction by\ncontinuously expanding military operations and always preparing for new\nrounds of conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Before the 7 October attack, Netanyahu was known as a leader cautious\nabout engaging in prolonged warfare. He preferred short military\noperations ended with political settlements to minimise Israel\u2019s\nburden.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, Netanyahu recognised that Israel\u2019s economy was not\ndesigned to sustain open conflict over the long term, while its military\nheavily relied on reserve forces not prepared for total prolonged\nwarfare.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Rosenberg, that approach changed drastically\nafter the recent war. He cites Israel\u2019s ongoing airstrikes in Beirut, as\nwell as what he calls Netanyahu\u2019s veiled desire to continue strikes\nagainst Iran.<\/p>",
