New York Times | How the War With Hamas Has Damaged Israel’s Tech Firms and Economy

In ways that are often less visible outside the country, the war has also hurt Israel’s economy. Tourism has come to a virtual standstill, and government spending has jumped. The hit to tech companies has shaken confidence in a sector that has become a key driver of Israel’s economy.

The call-up of 350,000 army reservists disrupted operations at many companies. Many customer orders were put on hold or cancelled outright, and investors were getting cold feet, according to a survey by the Israel Innovation Authority, a government-funded agency, and the Start-Up Nation Policy Institute.

Analysis |

Concerning the Qatari offer and the recent shift in American tone:

Firstly, it's crucial to acknowledge that there is no "free Arab state," and those that were considered such, like Libya, Yemen, and Syria, are no longer fully functional.

Within the MENA region, there are four types of Arab states:

1. States permitted to publicly oppose Israel (Kuwait, Iraq, Algeria*):

In this category, the American empire stands to lose more than it gains if these states normalize.

🇮🇶 Iraq: A US-tailored constitution drafted by Paul Bremer ensures no genuine democracy for Iraqis, with a military presence consisting of 12 known US military bases.

🇰🇼 Kuwait: A strategically located small Gulf state hosting one of the largest U.S. military bases in the region. If Kuwaitis decide to revolt against the government, it might lead to public unrest and a call for US forces to leave.

🇩🇿 ALGERIA: Requires a more in-depth explanation, and I am not in the mood to switch to French. The closest explanation I can give is Algeria*.

In essence, the U.S. establishment has much more to lose if the governments of these countries normalize relations with Israel.

2. States coerced to normalize (Saudi Arabia):
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia is the core guarantor of the U.S. currency value. That’s why it has managed to get away with a lot.

According to the U.S. establishment, Saudi Arabia is the "leader" of the vast majority of Muslims globally. Many Sunni-majority countries will finally have an excuse to follow suit, finding a rationale to convince their citizens that it is now "Halal."

3. States "suggested" (ordered to) normalize (all the remaining Arab states).

4. The state of Qatar 🇶🇦:

🇶🇦 Qatar plays a crucial role on the American chessboard. It's allowed to appear supportive of the liberation of Arab people, democracy, and various positive slogans, providing a service or role.

Thanks to these slogans, its role is to be a mediator between the Americans and "terrorists" that the Americans are engaged in wars with, in case negotiations are needed.

- Qatar facilitated talks between the U.S. and Taliban.
- Qatar is facilitating talks between Hamas and the U.S. and Israel.

So, why the sudden America tone Change ?

Well, believe it or not, the U.S. establishment is not as content as it was in the first weeks regarding Israel’s performance. It aims to end the war before it escalates into a regional conflict that forces its engagement.

Notably, the Qatari offer is essentially an American proposal presented under the guise of Qatar.
