SHAH ALAM – The war between Israel and the Middle East could result in the downfall of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and may even lead to the collapse of Israel.
International political observer Mohd Nasaie Ismail said that discussions surrounding the Palestinian issue were once largely confined to Muslim nations.
However, the global landscape has shifted, with widespread international condemnation now directed at Israel's violent actions.
Non-Muslim countries such as South Africa, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, Italy and France were now involved in opposing Israel's aggression.
Natalie believed that even if the current war ended in a matter of months or years, Israel would never be the same again.
"Even if Israel still exists, it will only do so as a completely isolated 'country', with no one wanting to befriend, engage in politics or trade with it.
"Over time, Israel will decay and disappear. Insyallah,” he said during an interview programme titled ‘The Emergence of New Gazas?’ on Thursday.
Reflecting on history, Nasaie highlighted that in the 1980s, three key organisations emerged as threats to Israel following the collapse of Palestine due to Zionist aggression.
He elaborated that from 1948 to 1973, Israel faced resistance from neighbouring nations such as Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia during the Arab wars.
However, no further wars ensued between Israel and its neighbours during what he described as Israel's "blossoming phase" of development.
"There has been no more war between them and the neighbouring countries, as they are in a phase of blossoming and developing without facing resistance, except for the organisations that emerged in 1982, namely Hezbollah.
"Then in the 1980s, Islamic Jihad emerged and in 1987, Hamas appeared," he said.
