Former zionist officials warn Netanyahu’s policies ‘dismantling’ Israel
A group of former Israeli officials has warned that the policies of the incumbent far-right regime led by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu are “dismantling” Israel’s military, economy and social fabric.
According to a damning letter, signed by 51 former officials from the Israeli military, Mossad spy agency, so-called internal security service Shin Bet, police, and the ministry of military affairs, Netanyahu is “leading acts aimed at harming the Israeli judicial system and the supreme court in a way that will nullify its independence, and subordinate it to Netanyahu and his fellow politicians.”
The Israeli officials said Netanyahu’s efforts were “transforming Israel into an autocracy that harms its strength through dismantling the army, its military establishment, economy, and risks the social fabric of the people”.
Among the dozens of signatories to the letter are former Israeli minister of military affairs and military chief of staff, Moshe Ya’alon; former Mossad chief, Tamir Pardo; and former prime minister, minister of military affairs, and Israeli army chief of staff, Ehud Barak.
