The US and the Middle East are still dangerously at the mercy of rouge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who apparently sees maximum incentive in expanding the war in the Middle East to pull the US directly into a war with Iran.
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.
I think you mean "rogue" not "rouge" in your opening line - although Netanyahu does have horrendous amounts of blood on his hands.
