This is how the Americans turned Israel into a banana republic

So why did Netanyahu agree to everything he opposed? Why did he sign an agreement that includes, in Clause 19, recognition of the Palestinians’ right to self-determination and statehood? Because contrary to all the delusional statements, the American administration did not give Netanyahu a “free hand” to do as he pleased. On the contrary. They stopped him. They imposed their will. They turned Israel into a banana republic.

The problem isn’t that allied states, especially the U.S., exert pressure— that’s an inherent part of international relations. The problem is that Netanyahu created a dangerous precedent—a complete contradiction between his stated conditions for ending the war and what actually happened. A precedent of coercion met with full compliance. A precedent that has turned Israel into a banana republic.
