The Zioneer editorial: Israel must rethink assumptions about its friends, not just its enemies

Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 13:35

TL;DR

An editorial published by The Zioneer argues that Israel's relations with its allies — previously believed to be founded on shared values — have proven to be governed by interests. The piece, citing Psalm 146:3, calls for renewed trust in God's covenant rather than in princes or governments.

01 · THE DISPATCH

An editorial published by The Zioneer this afternoon argues that the past two and a half years have forced Israel to reassess its strategic assumptions on two fronts: in October 2023, the country had to change its approach to its enemies; in June 2026, it must change its approach to its friends.

The piece contends that what Israel believed was an alliance founded on shared values has proven to be one governed by interests — a development the author says should not surprise students of Bible prophecy. It cites Psalm 146:3 in English and Hebrew: 'Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.'

The editorial concludes that while friends may disappoint and alliances may shift, 'the God of Israel remains faithful forever.' The piece reflects a strand of analysis — previously explored in several recent commentaries covered by The Zioneer — that warns Israel against over-reliance on foreign alliances, particularly with the United States, in the context of the post-Iran-strike diplomatic landscape.
