Abu Saleh of the 'Arab Desk' published a lengthy open letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu on Tuesday, urging him to assert Israeli sovereignty and resist external pressure from the Trump administration. The commentator called on Netanyahu to remember he is prime minister of a sovereign nation, not a 'doormat' for any foreign power.
Abu Saleh, a well-known commentator from the 'Arab Desk' the source, published an open letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday afternoon. The letter, running several paragraphs, mixes personal biography — describing himself as a native-born Israeli Jew from a working-class family — with sharp political reproach. He accuses Netanyahu of allowing himself to be treated as a 'punching bag' for President Trump and foreign powers, and warns that Iran and other adversaries are watching. The commentator acknowledges Netanyahu's experience and political dominance, but insists the prime minister must 'get a grip' and prioritize Israel's interests over any foreign power's agenda. The letter reflects a sentiment circulating in some Hebrew- and Arabic-language channels but carries no new factual reporting or policy announcement. This is opinion and commentary, not a verifiable government or military event.
