Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly intensifying his criticism of Israel’s Supreme Court and other state institutions following the perceived failure of his military campaign against Iran. The conflict, which ended with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, did not achieve Netanyahu’s objectives, leading to political fallout and a breakdown of his coalition. This has triggered a constitutional crisis, with Netanyahu’s government recently refusing to comply with a Supreme Court ruling, marking an unprecedented challenge to the judiciary. These escalating tensions come as the Israeli Knesset faces potential dissolution due to coalition instability.
