Netanyahu No Longer Conceals His War Against 'The Eighth Front' – the Home Front
On Wednesday, the spokesman for the IDF, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said some harsh things that needed to be said about achieving a hostage deal... at a press conference to discuss the deaths of six hostages...
Hagari said that given the failure to return these hostages alive, the authorities were obligated to return the remaining captives. This angered the governing coalition, but the deluge followed another statement he made. Hagari said something in public that the army has so far only said unofficially (and the intelligence agencies believe it as well).
He said that the so-called Feldstein bill, which permits the transfer of documents by military personnel directly to the prime minister without any authorization, is dangerous for the IDF. This would create a situation in which any soldier would be able to steal classified documents with impunity.
The passing of this bill in a preliminary vote this week was meant to signal to the detained prime minister's spokesman, Eli Feldstein, that the prime minister and the coalition are backing him so that he doesn't, God forbid, spill his guts....
But more is at play here. ... his desire to purge the top of the defense establishment and the judiciary. This will allow him to deflect any blame for the failures of October 7 and try to undermine his corruption trial.
With all due respect to Hagari, the Bibi-ists have bigger fish to fry, mainly Halevi and the head of the Shin Bet security service, Ronen Bar. A caption on Channel 14 on Wednesday claimed that Bar was trying "to wage a coup" and impose a "Shin Bet state" on Israel.
...It's patently obvious that the ruler finds it extremely urgent to remove Bar. A former Shin Bet chief, Yoram Cohen, wondered in an interview on Army Radio: "In what country would it be reasonable for the prime minister to directly assail the military chief of staff? This doesn't even happen in dictatorships."
...the assaults on them by Netanyahu and his mouthpieces, as well as the intent to replace Bar with a Shin Bet chief more loyal to the prime minister than to the democratic regime, raise grave concerns. Netanyahu no longer bothers to conceal his plans, which are clearly understood by his subordinates.
The vicious assault on the state's watchdogs reflects the growing stress among the prime minister's aides ahead of the beginning of his testimony at his trial Tuesday.
