Occupied Jerusalem- On the impact of the accelerating events and the expansion of the protests calling for the completion of the exchange deal and the restoration of the detainees, the divisions that come against the background of what was known as “reforms in the judiciary”, the dismissal of the head of the “Shin Bet” device, Ronin Bar, and attempts to undermine the powers of the Supreme Court, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to increase the pace of security escalation on the fronts of the fighting, especially on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Netanyahu is racing against time, which is being tried on charges of corruption, bribery and betrayal of trust, in order to contain internal conflicts and put out the protests ignited by its violation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, and the decomposition of the exchange deal by maintaining 59 Israelis held by Hamas, 24 of whom are alive.
Accordingly, Netanyahu seeks, according to the readings of analysts and researchers, to subjugate state institutions, in order to establish narrative that the security services are responsible for failure, and that the Prime Minister was not aware of the details of the events of October 7, 2023, and therefore he does not bear the responsibility of failure, and stressed that what Netanyahu governs internal conflicts and multi -front wars “his personal political interest.”
The analyzes were unanimously that Netanyahu succeeded in subjecting the “Knesset” legislative authority to the executive authority (the government), through legislation of laws that contribute to the subjugation of state institutions to the Prime Minister’s authority, as well as a prelude to legislation that follows the subjugation of the third authority (the judicial apparatus) of the elected government.
Netanyahu’s ends
In a reading of the escalation of the political and judicial conflict between the government and the opposition, the researcher on the Israeli affairs, Antoine Shalah, says that “Netanyahu, and after what can be described with achievements on the fronts of the fighting, gave the government a surplus of political force, by reference to the implementation of old plans at the internal level, which were on the agenda before the events of the seventh of October, most notably the reforms of the judicial system.”
Shalhah told Al -Jazeera Net that these reforms, which are described in Israel as a “coup” against the regime, were at the heart of the coalition agreements, and at the top of the priorities of the government’s programs and agenda since it was assumed at the end of 2022, with the aim of subjecting the judicial apparatus to the executive authority and the desires of Netanyahu, which is a criminal concern for an actual imprisonment.
It is believed that Netanyahu set up a strategy aimed at subjecting all state institutions to the government, including law enforcement authorities, security services and the military establishment, in an effort to avoid the possibility of imprisonment in prison, amid promoting the presence of the so -called “deep state” that it personally targets and the government coalition that heads it.
The government’s measures that contributed to the escalation of political conflict with the opposition parties were shaped by saying that “Netanyahu’s goals are to choose a composition that he spent governing the principle of loyalty to the prime minister and not the principle of legal professionalism, in order to reduce the punishment and reach a deal that prevents it in prison.”
Continuing tension
In response to a question, how will the government’s policies be reflected in the war in Gaza and the escalation in the West Bank? Shallah explained that Netanyahu, after the battle of the Flood of Al -Aqsa, intended to subjugate the war’s progress to the government’s goals.
It is believed that the escalation of the internal Israeli pressure represented by a comprehensive general strike or civil disobedience, as well as the threat of tax disobedience, are all issues that may affect the government’s decisions regarding the nature of the fighting on the fronts of the war, or dealing with internal political crises, as well as the extent of the continued identification of the security establishment with the government, and the extent of the phenomenon of refusal of military service in the ranks of the regular army and reserve forces.
In addition to these internal factors, Shallah believes that Netanyahu, who is supported by US President Donald Trump, sees everything related to escalation on the fronts of the fighting, he is no longer the owner of the separation of everything related to war or calm, pointing to the dependence of the Netanyahu government of the American position and Washington’s pressures by reaching the Gaza agreement and the exchange of exchange, and extending the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The exacerbation of the conflict
The same reading was reviewed by the writer and academic researcher Saher Ghazawi, who believes that the opposition camp is very identified with the government with everything related to the war on Gaza and the West Bank, but it differs with it regarding the arrangement of priorities, and he has no pressure. “Since October 7, we do not see any fundamental dispute over the war. There is a variation in positions, tactics, priorities and in the file of detainees.”
Amid the consensus between the opposition and the coalition regarding war and how to confront those who describe them as external “enemies”, the opposition parties miss the force, which would force the government to retract its plans and internal procedures, with everything related to reforms in the judicial apparatus or changes in the security services, foremost of which is the dismissal of the Shin Bet chief.
Ghazawi believes that this conflict and political and partisan polarization is in a constant exacerbation and escalation, and he tells Al -Jazeera Net that “the escalating conflict in Israel would reach a direct clash, and translate on the public street through friction, through demonstrations and protests of opposition political and supportive political camps.”
The academic researcher pointed out that the conflict would take different aspects, not only to confrontation and direct friction, but the conflict in order to tighten control of the state’s security, military, judicial and police institutions, and subject them to the agenda and ideology of the ruling parties, which is practically what Netanyahu does with the extremist right parties, represented by the “religious Zionism” parties. And “Jewish greatness”.
Ghazawi suggested that the political conflict in Israel is a candidate for further exacerbation, noting that in light of the harmony between the ruling coalition parties that control each other to meet interests, there are no features to reach a settlement between the opposition parties and the government, which carefully continued its internal policies that excite the differences and divisions.
