After the Iran war fiasco, Netanyahu targeted state institutions

The most fundamental foreign policy and security paradigm maintained by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for decades has collapsed as the war against Iran failed to yield the expected results. The failure to achieve the war's objectives and Tehran's increased capacity to wage a war of attrition against the US around the Strait of Hormuz have weakened Israel's strategic position.

Following this military and strategic failure, Netanyahu has shifted his focus to domestic politics and state institutions due to the loss of support in public opinion and the opposition. Facing the threat of a rebellion, the Prime Minister, who is trying to change the primary election system in the Likud party in his favor, is waging a fierce trench war targeting judicial independence.

The recent explicit threats by Israeli ministers to refuse to comply with Supreme Court decisions have brought the country to the brink of a constitutional crisis. Furthermore, Netanyahu's efforts to reshape the defense and security bureaucracy with his own loyal cadres pose a serious risk of polarization and conflict between the judiciary, the military, and the government.
