Watan<\/em><\/strong>-Israel\u2019s Supreme Court delivered a fresh blow to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by ruling against the legality of dismissing Shin Bet head Ronen Bar and shielding his replacement. The court emphasized that Bar\u2019s loyalty must lie with the public\u2014not the prime minister. Just an hour later, Netanyahu responded in kind, effectively slapping down the court and the entire \u201cdeep state,\u201d dismissing all domestic and global appeals to end the war on Gaza.<\/p>\n

This came during a press conference where Netanyahu delivered a populist, demagogic speech filled with lies and misdirection. He revealed his intent to continue the war and massacre in Gaza despite international condemnation and veiled threats, with the U.S. remaining conspicuously silent. He also hinted at the possibility of an Israeli attack on Iran.<\/p>\n

In a speech marked by manipulation, denial, and conspiracy theory, Netanyahu absolved himself and his government of massive failures and shockingly blamed the military and intelligence services. He even suggested, conspiratorially, that there may have been Israeli collusion with Hamas during the October 7 \u201cAl-Aqsa Flood\u201d operation\u2014mocking Gazans for invading \u201cwearing slippers and carrying rifles and sandals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Netanyahu
Netanyahu accuses Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar tensions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although Netanyahu reportedly led the operations room inside the Defense Ministry just an hour after the attack, he asked rhetorically: Why was the Air Force late to respond? Where were the border guards that night?<\/p>\n

Opposition leader Yair Lapid slammed Netanyahu\u2019s remarks about extending the war and seizing all of Gaza, warning that this path would destroy Israel\u2019s international standing and trap it in a long-term occupation with more soldier casualties and financial ruin. He accused Netanyahu of lying about \u201cfull coordination\u201d with the United States, noting that even President Donald Trump has lost interest in him.<\/p>\n

Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, said Netanyahu is \u201ca man of words, not actions,\u201d pointing out that despite 592 days since October 7, Hamas continues to fire rockets, carry out operations, and receive fuel and aid from Netanyahu\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cFor years, Netanyahu built his image around opposing Iran\u2019s nuclear program\u2014and now under his leadership, Iran is closer than ever to becoming a nuclear power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mounting External Pressure<\/h3>\n

Growing segments of Israeli society now blame Netanyahu<\/a> and his government for what they describe as a political tsunami of global condemnation\u2014particularly from Europe\u2014though these threats remain mostly rhetorical so far.<\/p>\n

Smadar Perry, Arab affairs editor at Yedioth Ahronoth, wrote that Israel is isolating itself by continuing a war with no objective and losing the media narrative. She remarked that propaganda cannot outpace the horrifying images from Gaza flooding social media and global platforms.<\/p>\n

A War With No Purpose<\/h3>\n

Military analyst Avi Issacharoff argued that Israel\u2019s current operations in Gaza are futile: Hamas remains resilient, has not surrendered, and still holds hostages. He warned, \u201cWe are repeating failed experiments. Operation Gideon\u2019s Chariots won\u2019t achieve what the war has failed to so far. This is a political war led by Netanyahu\u2019s government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Top military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai echoed this sentiment in his article titled \u201cTime Is Not on Our Side,\u201d urging an immediate ceasefire and a hostage deal. He noted that the effectiveness of military pressure is fading, Hamas is preparing for guerrilla warfare, and civilian suffering in Gaza is worsening.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Leper State\u201d<\/h3>\n

In a rare, piercing editorial, Haaretz declared that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza and that the war must end now. It warned that if Israel continues, it will become a global pariah, a \u201cleper state,\u201d hated and isolated. The paper called on Israelis to speak out in favor of a ceasefire and hostage deal\u2014before the world does it for them.<\/p>\n

A Haaretz cartoon drives this point home, depicting Israeli ministers in a “Hobby Corner” booth, each proclaiming their personal pastime:<\/p>\n

    Gideon Levy: “Well Done, IDF?”<\/h3>\n

    In a brutally honest piece titled \u201cAll the Respect to the IDF,\u201d columnist Gideon Levy challenges the myth that the military is merely following orders. He asserts that the army itself is driving a criminal, aimless war against defenseless refugees and displaced people in Gaza who have nowhere to hide. \u201cTo exonerate the army is cowardice or deceit\u2014or both,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n

    \"the

    Cigar and Champagne<\/h3>\n

    A biting cartoon in Yedioth Ahronoth shows Netanyahu holding a Cuban cigar in one hand and a pink French champagne flute in the other while watching a screen listing European countries condemning Israel: the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Belgium, France, and Malta.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, Israel Hayom warns that Israel stands at a crossroads, speculating whether Arab states may pressure Trump to finally tell Netanyahu: \u201cEnough.\u201d<\/p>\n

    As Netanyahu continues his populist campaign to extend the war and cement his grip on power, Israel\u2019s internal political rift deepens. Two rival camps now battle over the very soul and future of the country\u2014one that has become synonymous with war crimes, fascism, racism, and hate speech.<\/p>\n

    Today\u2019s Yedioth Ahronoth front page summed it up in one stark headline:
