Article written by Jérome Chapuisat and Hussam Al Mallak. The war led by Israel and its allies deepens regional instability and revives the debate on Israel’s role in the Middle East. While its current position relies on external support (United States, Europe, Arab regimes, evangelicals), this hegemony remains fragile and reversible. The crisis is also rooted in collective trauma and internal political excesses, fueling a cycle of endless violence, particularly in Gaza. A way out requires Israeli society’s awareness, the end of authoritarian drift, the recognition of Palestinian rights, and the opening of a genuine dynamic of peace between peoples.
