Israel's diplomatic relations with Europe are at a critical juncture, facing a profound crisis that threatens to sever long-standing ties and alliances. The author argues that the situation is dire, with Israel losing its 'last friends' in Europe, and the consequences could be far-reaching. The narrative begins by highlighting the recent actions and statements of various European leaders and governments, such as Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Italy's Giorgia Meloni, which have caused a rift in Israel-Europe relations. The author emphasizes the symbolic significance of these actions, especially the suspension of defense agreements and the rise in public criticism, indicating a shift in European attitudes towards Israel. The text delves into the personal interpretation of the author, who believes that the current Israeli government's actions and statements have contributed to this deterioration. The author's perspective is that the Israeli government's right-wing messianic wing is causing irreversible damage to the country's international standing. The article also mentions the loss of ideological partnerships, particularly with Hungary, where the new Prime Minister Peter Magyar has indicated a shift in policy. The author reflects on the broader implications of these developments, suggesting that Israel's diplomatic failure has led to a loss of goodwill and support, which could have strategic consequences. The piece also touches on the psychological and cultural aspects of the relationship, noting the importance of deep friendship and ideological closeness, which are now at risk. The author concludes by expressing concern about the potential for a more hostile international environment, especially with the possibility of a Democratic president in the United States who may be as hostile as the Europeans, and the changing dynamics in India with the potential replacement of Narendra Modi. The article ends with a call for a reevaluation of Israel's diplomatic strategy and a recognition of the importance of European allies, despite the current challenges.
