Henry Kissinger famously quipped that Israel has no foreign policy and only domestic politics. This was instead entirely about Netanyahu’s current and future political positioning, revealing the ways in which Israeli domestic politics is controlling Israeli foreign policy at the worst time. But the idea that Netanyahu would fire Gallant over an argument over Hezbollah, of all things, did not pass the smell test. When it does, it will not be because of Israel’s war aims or strategic goals, but because of what Netanyahu’s reading of domestic politics dictates. As is so often the case, Israeli foreign policy is taking a backseat when it should be front and center.
