Internal crises may topple Netanyahu's government

It seems that the internal crises are falling on Netanyahu's head one by one, like a heavy hammer. After Gantz and Eisenkot left the mini-war council against the backdrop of Netanyahu’s lack of a strategic vision for managing the war on the Gaza Strip, and the absence of a strategy for how to deal with the day after stopping the war on the Gaza Strip. With their exit and the formation of the tripartite alliance of Lieberman, Lapid and Sager against Netanyahu and his policies and management of the war on the Gaza Strip, and the feeling and conviction that Netanyahu is prolonging this war in the service of his political and personal interests, and is not governed by the “national” interests of the occupying state, and this position is adopted by former prime ministers such as Ehud Park and Ehud Olmert, Chiefs of staff like Dan Halutz, military analysts like Amos Harel, workers at the Ofer Shelah National Security Research Center, and commanders of security services and reserve brigades like Yitzhak Brik and Kobi Merom...etc. The protest marches and demonstrations of the families of the prisoners were strengthened by the leaders of the political opposition standing by them, and they began to agree on political demands that go beyond the personal, family and familial aspect, by completing the prisoner exchange deal and returning their prisoner children alive. Rather, their demands became for the departure of Netanyahu, the overthrow of his government, and the holding of sixth early elections.

Netanyahu is losing on the Israeli political and popular fronts, and demands for his departure are increasing, but the most dangerous thing is that the differences have moved into his government house, threatening his parliamentary legitimacy, and posing a danger to its continuation. Ben Gvir, leader of the “Otzma Yehudit” party, says that he will not vote in favor of draft government decisions, unless he is included in the mini-security forum, and this was clearly evident in what is known as the “Appointment of Rabbis” law, as Netanyahu was forced to withdraw it from circulation, and not present it to the Knesset. To vote on it, because there is no majority to pass this decision, and the “Appointment of Rabbis” law, which was presented by the Haredi “Shas” movement, and calls for transferring the powers to appoint rabbis from local councils to the Ministry of Religions, which is headed by a minister from the “Shas” movement, and this enables that movement. From benefiting from the funds allocated to those councils, in order to employ their members and supporters, and benefiting from those funds for the benefit of their institutes, schools, and religious institutions, and the failure to pass this decision, made the leader of the “Shas” movement, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, say to Netanyahu, “You do not control anything.” ".

The deepening differences between Shas and Ben Gvir exacerbated the differences between the parties of the government coalition, and matters were no longer limited to Ben Gvir and Smotrich holding the “neck” of Netanyahu’s political decision, and his constant threat to topple the government if he went to stop the war on the Gaza Strip and sign a deal. The exchange of prisoners, in a way that does not achieve what they call the extremist strategic goals of this battle. Rather, disputes are raging between Ben Gvir and the Haredi Jewish parties, as well as those parties. They no longer find the option of allying with Netanyahu in the Holy Alliance, but rather are looking for alternatives, which may be with Gantz and the right-wing bloc. In the making.

The issue of conscription of Haredi Jews came to deepen the crisis of the Netanyahu government and push it towards collapse. After the approval of the judges of the Israeli Supreme Court of Justice that compulsory conscription should be applied to students of religious institutes and schools, this decision pushed the differences between the poles of Netanyahu’s government to a higher degree. Where the rabbis of the Haredi Jews reaffirmed their rejection of the conscription decision, and repeated their phrases, “We die and do not enlist,” and “our Torah is our profession.” They carried out a large demonstration in the city of Jerusalem, mobilizing more than 25 thousand of their supporters, and attacked the occupation police forces with eggs and stones, and closed the roads. They were violently suppressed by the police. After that, things developed, and due to the human shortage of the occupation army, it was proposed to extend the service period for reserve soldiers from 24 months to 32 months. The occupation Minister of War, Galant, said that 3,000 Haredi Jews should be recruited Half of them are between the ages of 18 and 21 years old, and this issue prompted the rabbis of the Haredi Jews to reject this decision, and called on their supporters not to comply with conscription orders, and not to go to conscription offices. And even beyond that, Lithuanian Rabbi Dov Landau, the chief rabbi of the “Haredi,” says: “The state that recruits religious schools has no right to exist.”

Therefore, Netanyahu believes that the one working to blow up the government from within is Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and therefore he unleashed his entourage of ministers and members of the Knesset to launch a campaign against him, and against Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy. Communications Minister Shlomo Rahi attacked Gallant and accused him of failure, and that he must leave. And before that, Miri Regev, Minister of Transportation, Ben Gvir, Smotrich, Orit Struk, and others, and therefore Netanyahu became convinced that Gallant was working to sabotage Likud’s relations with the religious parties due to his position on the Haredi Jewish recruitment law, as well as the position on the exchange deal, and amending judicial legislation, and hence the campaign. The attack on Gallant aims to push him to voluntarily leave the government, or be dismissed. Netanyahu believes that the appropriate time to dismiss Gallant will be after he delivers his speech before the US Congress on the twenty-fourth of this month, and the Knesset enters its winter recess. This dismissal will have less political uproar, if he is dismissed during the period when the Knesset is not in its winter recess.
The differences are growing and escalating within Netanyahu’s alliance, the war against him is raging, and pressures are increasing internally, from the families of the prisoners who threaten to drag the state, along with the political opposition, and the Histadrut trade union federation into a state of civil disobedience.

The entire region is under escalation on all fronts, despite all the clamor and talk about intense negotiations to conclude an exchange deal in Cairo and Doha, and the direct participation of American leaders such as CIA Director William Burns, and Brett McFork, senior advisor to the American administration. Netanyahu does not want to stop the war or complete the exchange deal, and he continues to put sticks in the wheels, procrastinate and procrastinate, sometimes by objecting to the names and rulings of the Palestinian prisoners who will be released, and at other times by refusing to withdraw from the “Netzarim” axis, the Philadelphia axis, the Rafah crossing and personal inspection of the returnees. To the north of the Gaza Strip.

The northern fronts are expanding, and Hezbollah is taking the initiative and saying that reducing the escalation in the Gaza Strip does not mean reducing it on the northern front, and the Golan front is where battles are escalating, and it seems that it will be opened, and America rejects a complete withdrawal of its army from Iraq, and wants to keep part of it to protect its forces and bases in the north. Western Syria, which is plundering Syrian oil and gas, and the Red Sea front, a Yemeni threat to Saudi Arabia to attack it militarily if it provides facilities to America in its aggression against Yemen, and on the Iranian front, the American administration says that it is not interested in returning to negotiations with Iran about its nuclear file, after the invitation extended to it by the President. The new Iranian reformist Pezeshkian.
Netanyahu's government is entering deep crises in the coming days, and it will reveal whether it will survive or collapse.
