"Israeli Dilemma: To Condemn or Support Netanyahu's Government?"

Israelis are grappling with whether to hold their government accountable for security and intelligence failures or rally behind it during a time of war. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, already facing corruption charges, has seen his grip on power threatened by widespread protests over judicial changes. While some Israelis are demanding immediate accountability, others are hesitant to destabilize the country further. Netanyahu has formed a wartime unity government with his political rival Benny Gantz in an attempt to unite the nation. The government's failure to detect Hamas' planned attack has led to public blame and questioning of Netanyahu's priorities. While some government officials have acknowledged responsibility, they argue that accountability should come after the war. The Israeli public's frustration is increasingly visible, with confrontations between citizens and government ministers occurring in hospitals.
