US intelligence report states Netanyahu’s viability to lead Israel is in jeopardy | CNN Politics - Lemmy.World

The US intelligence community assesses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “viability as a leader” to be “in jeopardy,” according to its annual report on the national security threats facing the United States that was presented to Congress on Monday. “Distrust of Netanyahu’s ability to rule has deepened and broadened across the public from its already high levels before the war, and we expect large protests demanding his resignation and new elections,” according to the report. “A different, more moderate government is a possibility.”

A lot of the dissatisfaction Netanyahu is facing is because he’s on trial for corruption right now (after the trial was delayed for months because of the war).

Haaretz had an article yesterday on the trial status. This is a non-paywall link.

Right? We know this one. He’s “increasingly isolated”, right?

Yeah, nothing happens.
