I think you mean "rogue" not "rouge" in your opening line - although Netanyahu does have horrendous amounts of blood on his hands.

I'd like to know more about Barak's claim of a putsch taking place within Israel. What exactly is happening? I can't access the footnoted article because it is behind a pay wall.

He’s talking about Nethanyahu’s continuing push to end an independent judiciary and stay in office indefinitely. Plus the general instability and discontent created by the open-ended war and especially the discontent in the military. I would say the conduct of the IDF shows a breakdown of miltiary discipline, but that’s not a new problem They have been behaving in a criminal way for years.

I don’t think anyone is actually trying to organize a general strike. And the polls still show a big majority supporting the war against Gaza civilians.
