NETANYAHU BLASTS ‘Deep State’ Control In Justice Systems
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized judicial institutions on X, claiming they are manipulated for political agendas. He stated, “In America and Israel, when a strong right-wing leader wins an election, the leftist Deep State weaponizes the justice system to thwart the people’s will.” Netanyahu emphasized unity between right-wing movements in both countries.
Netanyahu’s remarks come amid his ongoing legal battles and conflicts with Israel’s Attorney General and internal security head. He wants to dismiss these officials due to a lack of confidence but faces resistance from entrenched bureaucracies. His comments resonate with conservatives worried about judicial systems being used against leaders like President Trump in the U.S.
Elon Musk, owner of X and billionaire tech entrepreneur, showed support for Netanyahu by replying with a “100” emoji. Musk has previously voiced concerns over government overreach and political weaponization of institutions.
The situation intensifies as Israel’s Attorney General ruled that Netanyahu cannot dismiss Security Agency Director Ronen Bar without prior approval, highlighting broader tensions around his leadership.
