Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted about the "deep state," noting its support for Yemen in Israel and the United States.

Netanyahu tweeted this Wednesday evening about the "deep state": "In the US and Israel, when a strong leader from the right wins an election, the left-wing 'deep state' wrongfully exploits the justice system to thwart the will of the people."

He continued in the controversial tweet: "They will not win, neither in Israel nor in the United States. We stand strong together."

In response to Netanyahu, Israeli President Isaac Herzog tweeted from his official English account: “Israel’s strong and independent judicial system is an asset to our democracy, and the President of the State of Israel is very proud of it.”

Netanyahu's threats and the responses of Israeli politicians represent yet another round in his desperate defense of his position amid corruption allegations against him and those close to him. He is also attempting to preserve his coalition government, which is threatened with collapse due to the Israeli military's failure to achieve its objectives during the aggression against the Gaza Strip, and to justify his continued violations of the ceasefire.
