The wise hesitance of these Arab nations to wade into this conflict will likely do more to save the Middle East from disaster than anything else. Refusing to further engage Bibi is the best way to thwart his attempts to prolong this conflict. Hamas’ 10/7/23 was a political gift to him. The dissolution of Bibi’s government is the best thing for Palestinians, along with the destruction of Hamas.
It is indeed a systemic issue, but his government is the strongest player in making sure this system is strenghtened rather than weakened.
In addition to all the bad stuff, there has also been more and more people pushing to make things better: Reduce laws and influence from religious fundamentalists, return land claimed by settlers and spread an understanding that they are doing evil, peace and trade with neighboring countries, etc.
And he is afraid of them. That is why he is trying to move to what is practically a dictatorship and go into perpetual war.
With the current government gone, there is at least hope that the non-fundamentalist politics can take the wheel.
I’m stretching the word “hope” to near breaking point here, I know. It would go from “impossible” to merely “impossibly hard with decades of hard concessions” to fix things.

Netanyahu was not the start and he won’t be the end of Israel’s deplorable treatment of Palestinians.
The end of his government will be the same as the last 80 years.
There is no magical blaming one person, this is a systemic and societal issue for all of Israel.
