Tom Friedman analyzed the ongoing threats in Israel as a result of the Arab Awakening. Israel is "alienated from turkey" and even Iran, its enemy, is thought to have a nuclear bomb. The lack of Institutions in Israel as a result of a disorderly government weakens Israel and as a result they are open to any attack from outsiders. There is a constant fear in Israel of "islamists taking power". Friedman believes that "Israel's best defense is to strengthen Fayyadism". He believes that in doing so it will result in better relations with the Arab world. He communicates his position through a fact based analysis and by explaining that in adopting Fayyadism, Israel would achieve peace.
