Jerusalem Post: Israel is on the verge of a political earthquake and anger will inevitably explode
Israeli is on the crisis of confidence and disagreements plaguing the levels of political and military decision-making in Israel, against the backdrop of the failure on Hamas attack on October 7th.
The Jerusalem Post newspaper described the current situation within the entity as being on the verge of a “political earthquake,” and that this earthquake is coming… The question isn’t if it will happen, but rather when?
The Jerusalem Post noted that Israel’s self-confidence was damaged, and its sense of security declined after the events of October 7.
Israel is in pain, worried, and angry; there is intense hatred toward Hamas, and there is intense anger toward the Israeli government.
The Jerusalem Post asked, how could this happen? How could Israel fail so miserably?
The Jerusalem Post saw that one indicator of the escalating anger is the reluctance of government ministers and members of the Knesset to appear in public, in addition to the fact that there aren’t many prominent politicians who visit the wounded in hospitals or even attend funerals these days due to concern about the reactions, which they will meet”.
According to the Jerusalem Post, “It will be impossible for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ignore this anger, which will inevitably explode in a flood of protests and demonstrations when the intensity of the fighting in Gaza diminishes and reserve soldiers return from fighting in Gaza”.
The Jerusalem Post also considered that it’s fair to predict that the failures of October 7 will lead to the end of Likud’s long grip on power.
The Jerusalem Post covered an opinion poll conducted by an Israeli institute, which said that 44% of the population would participate in the demonstrations if a wave of protests erupted after the war to hold the political and military levels responsible.
These polls indicate that many of the public won’t allow the Israeli political scene to return to what it was before the war after the war.
On Tuesday, Israeli media revealed a sharp dispute that occurred between the Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, and the Israeli Chief of Staff, Herzi Halevy, which reached the point of shouting between them, before Monday, during the War Cabinet session.
Earlier, the Israeli media confirmed that relations between the political and military levels in Israel had deteriorated, describing the existing division as a “military coup” in a new form.
