It seems to me that not only does Israel not trust its allies (e.g., the United States) and any Arab, Palestinian, etc., but also its citizens who aren't religious fundamentalists. Antagonism towards secular Jews for example. Netanyahu has surrounded himself with fundamentalists who will protect him from prosecution and from losing power. At the cost to the entire country.
