How Long Can Israel Survive: Shocking Statements from a Former Knesset Member

Muhammed Hasan Kanaan, the Chairman of the Arab National Party and a former member of the Israeli parliament (Knesset), evaluated the statements of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that Israel can give up US aid as election propaganda. Kanaan emphasized that Israel cannot survive without US support. The former Knesset member stated that Israel cannot abandon either the US or the aid it receives from the US. Kanaan pointed out the impact of US military support on the field, saying, “If it weren't for the unprecedented military support from Washington, developments in the Gaza Strip, southern Lebanon, Iran, and other fronts would be entirely different today.”

Netanyahu is trying to portray Israel as a strong state that can stand on its own economically without the support of the US and other external powers. However, this is merely a propagandistic statement that does not reflect reality.

Kanaan underlined that Israel cannot maintain its existence without continuous and comprehensive US support, stating, “Israel cannot survive for even a month without constant US support, which is not only military but also political, economic, and diplomatic, and is of vital importance to the country.”
