Israel is as for now the only country that went for a second lockdown. One must me careful to blame governments for mishandling the crisis, even when one despises those governments for all good reaons.
Amos Harel writes in Haaretz:

‘Domestically, the developments have been far less cheerful. It’s a safe bet that Nasrallah took note of them, too. Israel’s democracy is based in part on an unwritten pact between the citizen and the state, according to which the state must see to the citizen’s security, health and basic economic needs. The seven months of the coronavirus crisis, like an extended version of the way the civilian front in the north was handled in the second Lebanon war, have demonstrated that the state is not fulfilling its part of the agreement. This period has exposed lacunae in Israel’s stamina, in the internal solidarity between its different population groups and the degree of the public’s trust in the governing powers. As such, Israel’s deterrent ability in the face of Hezbollah has been undercut.

Matters reached a peak, perhaps a temporary one, in the recent disagreements over canceling the restrictions on the “red” cities(because some of them were ultra-Orthodox) and the breaks given to the Haredim for the Jewish holidays. Some Haredi rabbis’ insistence on holding mass prayers without restrictions undermines the fragile and delicate balance between the tribes in Israeli society.’

There are many ways to undermine the social fabric of a society, one of them is to allow certain groups, that are seen by other groups as privileged already, to break the rules.

The division between secular and religious or reform-religious and orthodox religious can be seen in both the US and in Israel. These divisions of course are highly political.

This is the irony of the moment. Some Arab states see Israel as a reliable partner in the fight against Iran (UAE for example), more reliable maybe than the US, but Israeli citizens are losing trust in their government.

That’s why Harel’s article had the headline that Nasrallah still wants revenge ‘but Israel May Do the Job for Him.’
