Netanyahu's blame game escalates amid military support and judicial crisis

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing backlash over his judicial reforms, which have led to protests, legal challenges, and military personnel strikes. Netanyahu is accused of trying to shift blame onto top military officials for the strikes, with his son even criticizing the Chief of Staff. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant defended the general, while Netanyahu's political rival, Yair Lapid, accused him of avoiding responsibility. The reforms, aimed at boosting executive powers, have been criticized for weakening the balance of power between the judiciary and the government. Thousands of reservists have refused to report for duty, risking military readiness. The infighting reflects the divisions in Israeli society, while raids on Palestinians in the West Bank continue.
