Is this the end for Netanyahu? Intelligence: Right-wing is preparing an attack

A group of 168 former senior Israeli security and military officials have sent a confidential letter to the security services, warning of the risk of an attack on the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset, on November 10, the day the new parliamentary session begins.

The letter, signed by former chiefs of the army's General Staff, former heads of the police, Mossad and Shin Bet, warns that around 1,500 right-wing activists may attempt to disrupt the swearing-in ceremony of the deputies. The document was signed on behalf of the group "Defense of Democracy" and raises concerns that a scenario similar to the attack on the US Capitol in January 2021, after Donald Trump's defeat in the election, could be repeated.

Authorities have taken note of the warning and are expected to impose extraordinary security measures in Jerusalem. Attention will also be on Benjamin Netanyahu, to see whether he will incite his supporters, take a public stance or remain silent. However, according to an analysis by the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, it is not believed that Israel is on the verge of an open clash. Netanyahu does not have the same approach as Trump, while the political process for forming a new government is not yet complete.

Former general Gadi Eisenkot, who has been tasked by President Isaac Herzog with forming a new government, has warned that Israeli democracy is going through one of the most critical periods in its history. These concerns are also linked to the risk of tensions that could be fueled by the political right.

Netanyahu, who had been aiming to lead the government again, has not retreated from the political scene, despite losing the October 27 election. Shortly before Herzog handed the mandate to Eisenkot, he released a video calling for the formation of a “national unity government.” This was a change in his stance, as only days earlier he had called for the formation of a strong right-wing coalition.

Eisenkot immediately rejected the proposal, calling Netanyahu hypocritical and intemperate. According to reports on public broadcaster Kan, a representative of the Likud party was sent in recent days to explore the possibility of an agreement with Eisenkot, even a rotation in the post of prime minister. But this offer was rejected without hesitation.

One of the main reasons is the lack of trust in Netanyahu. In 2020, he reached a similar agreement with Benny Gantz, but never handed over the post of prime minister to him as agreed. For Eisenkot, the main condition is that Netanyahu is not part of the new government, even if an agreement is reached with his party, Likud.

In his public statement, Netanyahu warned against forming a government that would depend on Islamist parties, which he accused of supporting Hamas. According to him, such a government would bring to Israel unrest similar to that seen in Europe and would endanger the very existence of the country.

On the other hand, Eisenkot is trying to secure a parliamentary majority without relying on the 19 Arab parties. These developments have increased efforts to create new alliances, while Netanyahu continues to hope that he can return to power.

However, political analyst Ben Caspit believes that Netanyahu's political era is coming to an end. According to him, the prime minister cannot imagine himself out of power and believes that without him, Israel will be engulfed in chaos. But Caspit thinks the opposite, emphasizing that the country has been engulfed in crisis precisely during his government.
