Can Benjamin Netanyahu Be Stopped?
This analysis examines Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political method of accusation, where he turns institutional judgments against him into evidence of conspiracy. In March 2025, as Shin Bet investigated his aides' links to Qatar, Netanyahu accused the 'leftist Deep State' of weaponizing justice systems. Already on trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, his government defied a High Court order on July 5 by refusing to recognize the TV and radio regulator's decisions, and the Knesset subsequently passed a law replacing the regulator with a government-controlled authority. The Knesset dissolved on July 17, with elections scheduled for October 27, the first since the 2023 judicial upheaval and Hamas's October 7 attack. Polls show Netanyahu's coalition below a governing majority, but the article questions whether electoral defeat would discredit his normalized political method of accusation, which predates his indictments and echoes rhetoric from the Oslo Accords era.
