Is Netanyahu Afraid of Arab Unity?
A Civilian Convoy from North Africa Shakes the Silence Around Gaza
📰 A Convoy That Sparked Alarm
In June 2025, a powerful civilian initiative began in Tunisia 🇹🇳 a convoy of cars and aid determined to reach Gaza 🇵🇸, crossing through Algeria🇩🇿 and Libya🇱🇾. It aimed to break the siege not with weapons, but with solidarity and supplies.
It was not a political or military move. It was led by ordinary citizens — doctors, students, and volunteers — who refused to stay silent. For the first time in years, three Arab peoples acted together, across borders, for Palestine. That unity has alarmed Israel.
🛑 Israel’s Nervous Response
As tensions escalate between Iran and Israel, Netanyahu’s government quickly linked the convoy to Iran, calling it part of a wider “axis of evil.” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant urged Egypt to block it, branding participants “foreign jihadists.”
But Israel has known about Iran’s influence for decades. So why such urgency now?
Because this time, it’s not Iran moving — it’s the Arab people. And that threatens to shift the global conversation on Gaza. In the middle of rising regional conflict, Netanyahu may be using the Iran narrative to justify blocking a peaceful, civilian-led movement.
The facts are clear: this convoy is not Iranian. It was born in Tunisian streets, supported by free people in Libya and Algeria Arab, civilian, and independent.
🌍 A New Kind of Arab Power
For decades, Israel relied on Arab disunity. While Palestinians suffered under occupation, most regimes either normalized ties or stayed silent. But now, the people themselves are rising and they are moving.
If Netanyahu is nervous, he should be. His government has turned Gaza into a graveyard of children and the world is watching.
The Soumoud Convoy proves that the Arab street is waking up. That’s a greater threat to Israel’s narrative than any missile.
So the question stands:
Is Netanyahu afraid of Arab unity — and the justice it carries?
